java lib to parse SVN dump files?

Question

Is there a Java parser for SVN dump files, similar to svndumpfilter? I know that svnkit has such a script, but I did not find an API documentation or an example for actually reading the content of the dumpfile.

I am writing a Java app that has to analyze SVN dumps. Ideally, I would like to traverse the dump file entry-by-entry (it's too large to be read in whole). Is there an off-the-shelf tool to use, or should I implement the parser myself, based on the dump file grammar?

Answer 1

The first question which comes to my mind is why are you trying to read the dump file and the repository? Furthermore the documentation of such kind can be found in the javadocs which is offered by svnkit.com and also there are examples for command line handling which implements a full svnadmin load part.
