libjfreecycle

NOTE: In alpha stage, do not use

libjfreecycle is a Java library for scraping freecycle.org.

libjfreecycle lazy loads group and post information i.e. only retrieving information when methods for returning them are called (not getting all information on instantiation). Example:

// Creating a group does not retrieve any information from freecycle.org
Group group = new Group("GalwayIE");

// Request freecycle.org 100 most recent posts now
ArrayList<Post> posts = group.getPosts();
