Introduction

Using this library you can make requests and interact with the Jasper Reports Server through the REST API in native PHP. This allows you to more easily embed data from your report server, or perform administrative tasks on the server using PHP.

Requirements

To use this client, you will need:

JasperReports Server (version >= 5.2)
PHP (version >= 5.3, with cURL extension)
Composer dependency manager http://getcomposer.org/download (Optional, but recommended)

Installation

Add the following to your composer.json file for your project, or run php composer.phar reqiure jaspersoft/rest-client v2.0.0 in the directory of your project

{
    "require": {
	    "jaspersoft/rest-client": "v2.0.0"
    }
}

Or alternatively, download this package from github, and run php composer.phar install in the directory containing composer.json to generate the autoloader, then require the autoloader using

require_once "vendor/autoload.php"

Additionally, a distributed autoloader is included if oyu want to simply include it in an existing project, or do not want to bother with Composer.

require_once "autoload.dist.php"
