KeePass is in effect defined by the code that Dominik writes to create and maintain the project. Hence the creation of abstract Database interfaces rather than following the KeePass model

It has always been the intention to support other specific password database implementations. Is no formal connection with that project. This project is so named by kind permission of Dominik Reichl the author of KeePass. Illustrations of operations using the Database, Group and Entry interfaces. Initially KDB, KDBX 3.1 and KDBX 4 (KeePass 2) file formats, subsequently, potentially, others. Provide the basis of all implementations of the various database formats, How to use the methods of those classes to create and modify entries. However, entries and groups created in one database cannot be moved to another database without being converted: Entries can be moved between groups and groups can also be moved between groups. The Database has a root group and by following sub-groups of the root group the tree structure of the database can be navigated. Entries hold the information of value in the database and Groups allow the structuring of entries into collections, just like a folder structure. Password databases are modelled as a three layer abstraction.Ī Database is a collection of records whose physical representation needs only to be capable of rendering as a stream. Load time is dominant in this example for JAXB and Simple,ĭatabase traversal for the DOM implementation.
