Features included so far:
- Password or Keyfile credentials: openkeepass can open password protected databases as well as keyfile protected databases.
- Easy to learn API: openkeepass has a simple API with convenient methods that makes it easy to read data from a KeePass database.
- Very lean: openkeepass tries to keep the necessary dependencies to an absolute minimum.

Before using this library make sure that you have the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) installed on your system.

The basic usage is very simple. This example will show you how to retrieve all entries and the top groups of the KeePass database.
// Open Database
KeePassFile database = KeePassDatabase.getInstance("Database.kdbx").openDatabase("MasterPassword");
// Retrieve all entries
List<Entry> entries = database.getEntries();
for (Entry entry : entries) {
System.out.println("Title: " + entry.getTitle() + " Password: " + entry.getPassword());
}
// Retrieve all top groups
List<Group> groups = database.getTopGroups();
for (Group group : groups) {
System.out.println(group.getName());
}
You can also search for specific entries in the database:
// Search for single entry
Entry sampleEntry = database.getEntryByTitle("Sample Entry");
System.out.println("Title: " + sampleEntry.getTitle() + " Password: " + sampleEntry.getPassword());
// Search for all entries that contain 'Sample' in title
List<Entry> entriesByTitle = database.getEntriesByTitle("Sample", false);
for (Entry entry : entriesByTitle) {
System.out.println("Title: " + entry.getTitle() + " Password: " + entry.getPassword());
}
