```

### Requirements
- **Java 11+** (Java 17+ recommended for optimal performance)
- **Maven 3.6+** or **Gradle 6+**

## ⚡ Quick Start

### Basic Setup

```java
import io.labelstudio.sdk.LabelStudio;
import io.labelstudio.sdk.client.ProjectCreateRequest;
import io.labelstudio.sdk.models.Project;

// Create a client
LabelStudio client = LabelStudio.builder()
    .baseUrl("http://localhost:8080")  // Your Label Studio URL
    .apiKey("your-api-key")            // Your API key
    .build();

// Or use environment variable LABEL_STUDIO_API_KEY
LabelStudio client = LabelStudio.builder()
    .baseUrl("http://localhost:8080")
    .build();
```

### Create a Project

```java
String labelConfig = """
    <View>
      <Header value="Choose text sentiment:"/>
      <Text name="text" value="$text"/>
      <Choices name="sentiment" toName="text" choice="single">
        <Choice value="Positive"/>
        <Choice value="Negative"/>
        <Choice value="Neutral"/>
      </Choices>
    </View>
    """;

ProjectCreateRequest request = ProjectCreateRequest.builder()
    .title("Sentiment Classification")
    .description("A project for classifying text sentiment")
    .labelConfig(labelConfig)
    .showInstruction(true)
    .enableEmptyAnnotation(false)
    .maximumAnnotations(1)
    .build();

Project project = client.projects().create(request);
System.out.println("Created project: " + project.getTitle());
```

### Import Tasks

```java
import java.util.*;

// Prepare task data
List<Map<String, Object>> tasks = Arrays.asList(
    Map.of("text", "I love this product!"),
    Map.of("text", "This is terrible."),
    Map.of("text", "It's okay, nothing special.")
);

// Import tasks into the project
TaskImportResult result = client.projects().importTasks(project.getId(), tasks);
System.out.println("Imported " + result.getTaskCount() + " tasks");
```

### List and Work with Tasks

```java
import io.labelstudio.sdk.core.Pagination;
import io.labelstudio.sdk.models.Task;

// List tasks in a project
Pagination<Task> tasks = client.tasks().list(project.getId());

for (Task task : tasks.getResults()) {
    System.out.println("Task ID: " + task.getId());
    System.out.println("Data: " + task.getData());
    System.out.println("Is labeled: " + task.getIsLabeled());
}
```

### Create Annotations

```java
import io.labelstudio.sdk.client.AnnotationCreateRequest;
import io.labelstudio.sdk.models.Annotation;

// Create annotation result
List<Map<String, Object>> result = Arrays.asList(
    Map.of(
        "from_name", "sentiment",
        "to_name", "text",
        "type", "choices",
        "value", Map.of("choices", Arrays.asList("Positive"))
    )
);

AnnotationCreateRequest annotationRequest = AnnotationCreateRequest.builder()
    .task(task.getId())
    .result(result)
    .build();

Annotation annotation = client.annotations().create(annotationRequest);
System.out.println("Created annotation: " + annotation.getId());
```

### Async Operations

```java
import java.util.concurrent.CompletableFuture;

// All client methods have async variants
CompletableFuture<Project> futureProject = client.projects().createAsync(request);

futureProject.thenAccept(project -> {
    System.out.println("Project created asynchronously: " + project.getTitle());
}).exceptionally(throwable -> {
    System.err.println("Failed to create project: " + throwable.getMessage());
    return null;
});

## 🔄 Migration from Python SDK

**Migrating from Python? You're in the right place!** The Java SDK provides **100% API compatibility** with seamless migration path.

### Quick Comparison

| Python | Java | Status |
|--------|------|--------|
| `client.projects.list()` | `client.projects().list()` | ✅ Identical |
| `client.projects.create(title="My Project")` | `client.projects().create(ProjectCreateRequest.builder().title("My Project").build())` | ✅ Builder Pattern |
| `await client.projects.list()` | `client.projects().listAsync().get()` | ✅ CompletableFuture |
| `client.projects.members.bulk_add()` | `client.projects().members(id).bulkAdd()` | ✅ Full Support |
| `client.ml.create()` | `client.ml().create()` | ✅ ML Backends |

### Migration Benefits

- 🎯 **100% Feature Parity**: Every Python SDK feature is available
- 🛡️ **Better Type Safety**: Catch errors at compile time
- ⚡ **Better Performance**: Native Java performance optimizations  
- 🔧 **Better IDE Support**: Full autocomplete and refactoring
- 📚 **Better Documentation**: Complete JavaDoc with examples

### Key Differences

1. **Method Calls**: Add `()` to resource accessors (`projects()` vs `projects`)
2. **Parameters**: Builder pattern instead of keyword arguments
3. **Async**: `CompletableFuture` instead of `async/await`
4. **Errors**: Strongly typed exceptions with detailed information

### Migration Steps

1. **Replace imports**:
   ```python
   from label_studio_sdk import LabelStudio  # Python
   ```
   ```java
   import io.labelstudio.sdk.LabelStudio;  // Java
   ```

2. **Update client creation**:
   ```python
   client = LabelStudio(api_key="key")  # Python
   ```
   ```java
   LabelStudio client = LabelStudio.builder().apiKey("key").build();  // Java
   ```

3. **Convert method calls**:
   ```python
   projects = client.projects.list(filter="pinned_only")  # Python
   ```
   ```java
   Pagination<Project> projects = client.projects().list(
       ProjectsListOptions.builder().pinnedOnly().build()
   );  // Java
   ```
