Mailjet’s new JAVA and PHP clients make integration easy for all

Why we decided to iterate on our first version

Our original Java wrapper was a little complex for beginners to pick up. For example, getting a Campaign resource in Java was pretty lengthy. Now, we’ve scaled this process down to only two lines of code, making it more accessible for all.

Leveraging the Open Source community was also one of our goals. of this new update. We used the Google Http Client Library via a Java community project, and the well known Guzzle Http library for PHP. This will ensure our API client will be available on Google Cloud services, is maintained by the community, and focuses on simplicity.

We love our developer community and encourage you guys to contribute as much as you want! We already go a lot of interest from the Github community and some amazing contributions on both wrappers, and we will be happy to review your work!

We also wanted to give beginners, students and Hackathon attendees a way to quickly send email without having to worry about anything else than their application rather than the email itself:

In Java, sending an email can be performed through the MJEasyClient class. In PHP, it's almost the same

What does this all mean?

On the internals, both PHP and Java now have a much simpler, more consistent code that'll make it easier for you, our community to contribute and work together in. With this new update, our wrappers are now designed with the most popular guidelines in the industry. For example, we used namespaces, autoload and PSR style guide for PHP. It also means you'll be able to get the clients and their dependencies with popular dependency managers such as Composer in PHP and Maven in Java. We can't wait to see what you build with the updated clients!
