Introducing a new major version of Box Java SDK v5 that includes two packages — the manually maintained com.box.sdk package and the generated com.box.sdkgen package. The coexisting packages provide easier access to the latest Box API features and support gradual migration to the standalone generated namespace.

There are no breaking changes between v4 and v5 of Box Java SDK. For more information about migrating to v5 visit v4 to v5 migration guide

What's New in v5

With this SDK version, alongside the existing com.box.sdk package, we’re introducing a new com.box.sdkgen package, which gives you access to:

  • Full API Support — Complete coverage of the Box API ecosystem, giving you access to all the latest features and functionalities to build feature-rich applications.

  • Rapid API Updates — Our new auto-generation approach enables Box API additions within days, ensuring you can leverage the most up-to-date features without delay.

  • Embedded Documentation — All objects and parameters are documented directly in the SDK source code, keeping essential information in one place.

  • Enhanced Convenience Methods — New methods for authentication, chunk uploads, automatic retries, retry strategy, and more.

Important Notes

This version allows you to gradually migrate your codebase to the com.box.sdkgen package. The key differences between the packages are documented in the package migration guide.

Ultimately, we recommend to migrate to v10 which includes only the generated com.box.sdkgen package. To migrate from v5 to v10 follow this migration guide.

For more information, see the SDK versioning strategy document. Follow developer changelog for future updates.
