GedcomReader

This library allows the loading of family tree data from various sources into memory (as GedcomNodes), which can then be further used with all my GEDCOM libraries


![License](http://img.shields.io/badge/License-Apache v2.0-802879.svg) Java Version ![Apache Maven ready](http://img.shields.io/badge/Apache Maven ready-3.3.9%2B-FF6804.svg)


Currently, the following readers are available:

  • GedcomGEDReader: To read existing GEDCOM (*.ged) files with individuals and families etc. The GEDCOM format is a "standard" format for exchanging genealogy data.
  • GedcomCSVReader: Reads individuals from a chart (with their partners, parents, ...) and creates all the needed individual and family structures
  • GedcomResultSetReader: Reads individuals from a ResultSet (with their partners, parents, ...) and creates all the needed individual and family structures

All the readers need a GedcomStore to work. The gedcom grammar file which is loaded with the GedcomStore defines how the family tree data is read and stored in memory.

##GedcomGEDReader

Example file which can be read:

0 HEAD
1 SOUR source
2 NAME source name
2 CORP corporation
1 SUBM @0@
1 GEDC
2 VERS 5.5.1
2 FORM LINEAGE-LINKED
1 LANG German

0 @0@ SUBM
1 NAME submission name

0 @1@ INDI
1 NAME Johann, Mat /Frank/
2 TYPE married
2 GIVN Johann, Mat
2 SURN Frank
1 SEX M
1 BIRT Y
2 DATE 1775
1 DEAT Y
2 DATE 1858
1 RESI
1 FAMS @4454@

The following code creates a gedcom store and loads the content of the gedcom file.

GedcomStore store = new GedcomStore();

store.showParsingOutput(false);
		
try {
	store.parse(store.getClass().getResource("/gedcomobjects_5.5.1.gedg").getPath());
} catch (GedcomParseException e) {
	e.printStackTrace();
}


GedcomGEDReader gedReader = new GedcomGEDReader(store);

try {
	gedReader.read("PATH_TO_GEDCOM_FILE/test.ged");
} catch (IOException e) {
	e.printStackTrace();
}

//Access all loaded structures
LinkedHashMap<String, LinkedList<GedcomTree>> s = reader.getParsedStructures();

##GedcomCSVReader/GedcomResultSetReader

Example file which can be read:

| member_id | member_name   | member_firstname | member_middlename | member_formername  | member_gender |
|-----------|---------------|------------------|-------------------|--------------------|---------------|
| 1         | Frank         | Johann           | Mat               |                    | m             |
| 10        | Doe-Snider    | Ann              | Cathy             | Snider             | f             |

The table data could be data from a CSV file or data from a result set of a database table.

The Columns enum in the GedcomChartEnums class contains all the available standard column names. However, if your chart has different column names, you can define the column names as shown in the example below.

GedcomCSVReader csvReader = new GedcomCSVReader(store);

Columns.ID.setColumnName("member_id");			//Assigns the table name "member_id" to the internally used "id"
Columns.FAMILY_NAME.setColumnName("member_name");	//Assigns the table name "member_name" to the internally used "family_name"
Columns.FIRST_NAME.setColumnName("member_firstname");	//...
Columns.MIDDLE_NAME.setColumnName("member_middlename");
Columns.FORMER_NAME.setColumnName("member_formername");
Columns.GENDER.setColumnName("member_gender");
Columns.BIRTH_DATE.setColumnName("member_birthdate");
Columns.DEATH_DATE.setColumnName("member_deathdate");
Columns.PARENT1_ID.setColumnName("member_father_id");
Columns.PARENT2_ID.setColumnName("member_mother_id");
Columns.PARTNER_ID.setColumnName("member_partner_id");
Columns.MARRIAGE_DATE.setColumnName("member_marriagedate");
Columns.CIVIL_STATUS.setColumnName("member_civilstatus");
Columns.EMAIL1.setColumnName("member_email1");
Columns.EMAIL2.setColumnName("member_email2");
Columns.STREET1.setColumnName("member_street1");
Columns.STREET2.setColumnName("member_street2");
Columns.TOWN.setColumnName("member_town");
Columns.ZIP_CODE.setColumnName("member_zipcode");
Columns.COUNTRY.setColumnName("member_country");
Columns.PHONE1.setColumnName("member_phone1");
Columns.PHONE2.setColumnName("member_phone2");
Columns.OCCUPATION.setColumnName("member_occupation");
Columns.EDUCATION.setColumnName("member_education");
Columns.LAST_MODIFIED.setColumnName("member_lastmodified");

try {
	csvReader.read("/home/thomas/Desktop/familienfest/naeffen_familytree.csv", 
			GedcomCSVReader.CSV_EXCEL_NORTH_EUROPE, null, null);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
	e.printStackTrace();
} catch (GedcomReaderException e) {
	e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
	e.printStackTrace();
}
