Tree-Data-Structure

Tree (Data Structure)

Lightweight Kotlin Multiplatform tree data structure for Kotlin and Java. Includes a small DSL, multiple traversal iterators, and pretty-print support.

• Kotlin Multiplatform (JVM, JS, iOS, and Native host)
• Pre-order, Post-order, and Level-order iteration
• Simple DSL: tree { child(…) }
• Utilities: nodeCount(), height(), depth(), path(), prettyString(), clear(), removeChild()

Installation

Gradle (Kotlin DSL):

// commonMain for KMP projects, or any sourceSet/module where you need it
dependencies {
    implementation("com.github.adriankuta:tree-structure:3.1.1") // see badge above for the latest version
}

Gradle (Groovy):

dependencies {
    implementation "com.github.adriankuta:tree-structure:3.1.1" // see badge above for the latest
}

Maven:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.github.adriankuta</groupId>
  <artifactId>tree-structure</artifactId>
  <version>3.1.1</version>
</dependency>

Usage

Kotlin

val root = TreeNode("World")
val northA = TreeNode("North America")
val europe = TreeNode("Europe")
root.addChild(northA)
root.addChild(europe)

val usa = TreeNode("USA")
northA.addChild(usa)

val poland = TreeNode("Poland")
val france = TreeNode("France")
europe.addChild(poland)
europe.addChild(france)
println(root.prettyString())

Pretty Kotlin (DSL)

val root = tree("World") {
    child("North America") { child("USA") }
    child("Europe") {
        child("Poland")
        child("Germany")
    }
}

Java

TreeNode<String> root = new TreeNode<>("World");
TreeNode<String> northA = new TreeNode<>("North America");
TreeNode<String> europe = new TreeNode<>("Europe");
root.addChild(northA);
root.addChild(europe);

TreeNode<String> usa = new TreeNode<>("USA");
northA.addChild(usa);

TreeNode<String> poland = new TreeNode<>("Poland");
TreeNode<String> france = new TreeNode<>("France");
europe.addChild(poland);
europe.addChild(france);
System.out.println(root.prettyString());

Output:

World
├── North America
│   └── USA
└── Europe
    ├── Poland
    └── France

Traversal and utilities

val root = TreeNode("root")
// ... build your tree

// Choose iteration order (default is PreOrder)
root.treeIterator = TreeNodeIterators.PostOrder
for (node in root) println(node.value)

// Utilities
root.nodeCount()   // number of descendants
root.height()      // longest path to a leaf (in edges)
root.depth()       // distance from current node to the root
val path = root.path(root.children.first()) // nodes from descendant up to root

// Mutations
val child = root.children.first()
root.removeChild(child)
root.clear()       // remove entire subtree

Publishing to Maven Central (central.sonatype.com)

This project is configured to publish artifacts to Maven Central via the Sonatype Central Portal.

There are two supported ways to publish:

1) Via GitHub Actions (recommended)

• Create a GitHub Release (tag) in this repository. When a release is published, the workflow .github/workflows/publishRelease.yml runs automatically.
• The workflow uses the Gradle task publishToMavenCentral to upload artifacts through the Central Portal.
• Make sure these repository secrets are configured in GitHub:
  • MAVEN_CENTRAL_USERNAME — Your Sonatype Central username (not email).
  • MAVEN_CENTRAL_PASSWORD — Your Sonatype Central password or a token from central.sonatype.com.
  • SIGNING_KEY — ASCII‑armored GPG private key (exported, single line; for in‑memory signing).
  • SIGNING_PASSWORD — Passphrase for the key above.
• The workflow uses JDK 21 and publishes the version defined in build.gradle.kts.

2) Locally via Gradle

• Ensure you have a Sonatype Central account and that the groupId com.github.adriankuta is verified in central.sonatype.com (Namespace Rules → Verify).
• Export the same credentials/signing values as environment variables or pass them as Gradle properties:
  • ORG_GRADLE_PROJECT_mavenCentralUsername
  • ORG_GRADLE_PROJECT_mavenCentralPassword
  • ORG_GRADLE_PROJECT_signingInMemoryKey
  • ORG_GRADLE_PROJECT_signingInMemoryKeyPassword
• Then run:
  • ./gradlew publishToMavenCentral
• For snapshot publishing, set -Psnapshot=true (the version is derived from PUBLISH_VERSION with -SNAPSHOT).

Notes

• Publishing is powered by the com.vanniktech.maven.publish Gradle plugin and Sonatype Central Portal (no legacy Nexus staging URLs needed).
• The plugin is configured to sign all publications. Coordinates and POM metadata are defined in build.gradle.kts.
• If using the combined task is preferred, you can also run publishAndReleaseToMavenCentral when automatic release is enabled; this repository currently uploads with publishToMavenCentral from CI.
