What is Jedis?

Jedis is a Java client for Redis designed for performance and ease of use.

Getting started

To get started with Jedis, first add it as a dependency in your Java project. If you're using Maven, that looks like this:

<dependency>
    <groupId>redis.clients</groupId>
    <artifactId>jedis</artifactId>
    <version>4.2.0</version>
</dependency>

Next, you'll need to connect to Redis. For many applications, it's best to use a connection pool. You can instantiate a Jedis connection pool like so:

JedisPool pool = new JedisPool("localhost", 6379);

Once you have a JedisPool instance, you can use a try-with-resources block to get a connection and run Redis commands.

Here's how to run a single SET command within a try-with-resources block:

try (Jedis jedis = pool.getResource()) {
  jedis.set("clientName", "Jedis");
}

Jedis instances implement most Redis commands. See the Jedis Javadocs for a complete list of supported commands.

Easier way of using connection pool

Using a try-with-resources block for each command may be cumbursome, so you may consider using JedisPooled.

JedisPooled jedis = new JedisPooled("localhost", 6379);

Now you can send commands like sending from Jedis.

jedis.sadd("planets", "Venus");

Connecting to a Redis cluster

Jedis lets you connect to Redis Clusters, supporting the Redis Cluster Specification. To do this, you'll need to connect using JedisCluster. See the example below:

Set<HostAndPort> jedisClusterNodes = new HashSet<HostAndPort>();
jedisClusterNodes.add(new HostAndPort("127.0.0.1", 7379));
jedisClusterNodes.add(new HostAndPort("127.0.0.1", 7380));
JedisCluster jedis = new JedisCluster(jedisClusterNodes);

Now you can use the JedisCluster instance and send commands like you would with a standard pooled connection:

jedis.sadd("planets", "Mars");

Using Redis modules

Jedis provides support for some of the Redis modules, most notably RedisJSON and RediSearch.

See the RedisJSON Jedis Quick Start for details.

Documentation

The Jedis wiki contains several useful articles for using Jedis.

You can also check the latest Jedis Javadocs.
