__signature-tools__

This project contains the source code and tests for API signature comparison tools.
It consists roughly of five parts:

#Signature model : A generic model to represent the structure of an API

#Converters      : A dex -> signature model converter (utilizing the dex-tools parser)
                   A java source -> signature model converter (utilizing the doclet tools)

#Delta model     : A model to represent differences between two signature models
    
#Comparator      : Put two signature models into the comparator and you get a delta model

#Report engine   : Translates a delta model to a html output based on templates (utilizing the StringTemplate framework)


Since this folder contains a .project file, it can be imported directly into eclipse as a java project.

Feel free to improve!
