BookKit

BookKit contains helper routines for dealing with common book-related services. It will help you:

  1. Issue a query to Google Books and parse the result. (Note: You must have your own Google Books API key for this.)
  2. Download cover images from OpenLibrary
  3. Parse the JSON files from LibraryThing
  4. Load a CSV file from Goodreads

Code Overview

  • Book is the core abstration of a "book" made available from any of the common book-tracking sites / services. The properties on Book are meant to be about the book itself, as opposed to the relationship between the book and a person (like when the book was added to a library, or how a reader rates the book).
  • AugmentedBook extends Book to add the metadata that are personal to a particular person, like review/rating.
  • AugmentedBook+CSV.swift contains utilities for loading AugmentedBook structs from CSV files saved from Goodreads.
  • LibraryThing contains utilities for loading AugmentedBook structs from a JSON file saved from LibraryThing.
  • GoogleBooks contains utilities for searching for books from Google Books.
  • OpenLibrary contains utilities for downloading book covers from Open Library.
