# SOP for Java The [Stateless OpenPGP Protocol](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-dkg-openpgp-stateless-cli-03) specification defines a generic stateless CLI for dealing with OpenPGP messages. Its goal is to provide a minimal, yet powerful API for the most common OpenPGP related operations. `sop-java` defines a set of Java interfaces describing said API. `sop-java-picocli` contains a wrapper application that transforms the `sop-java` API into a command line application compatible with the SOP-CLI specification. ## Known Implementations (Please expand!) | Project | Description | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------| | [pgpainless-sop](https://github.com/pgpainless/pgpainless/tree/master/pgpainless-sop) | Implementation of `sop-java` using PGPainless | ### Implementations in other languages | Project | Language | |-------------------------------------------------|----------| | [sop-rs](https://sequoia-pgp.gitlab.io/sop-rs/) | Rust | | [SOP for python](https://pypi.org/project/sop/) | Python |
