v1.0.0

Version: v1.0.0
Release date: 2025-11-17

A lightweight Java client library for the public VIES REST API. Built for Java developers who need to validate EU VAT numbers, exercise the official VIES test service, and monitor member-state availability with minimal boilerplate. 🚀

Key capabilities of the VIES API client:

• Validate any EU VAT number via checkVatNumber, including access to trader name, address, and match indicators
• Call checkVatTestService to verify your integration flow without touching production records
• Retrieve service availability for every member state with checkStatus, as well as the overall VIES status
• Configure request/response logging through the bundled ViesApiClient wrappers
• Build once and reuse everywhere, since the client targets Java 8+ and ships as a standard Maven artifact

The library covers every endpoint documented in the official VIES REST specification as of version 1.0.0 (17 Nov 2025).
