Jollyday is a java library to query public holidays. Currently, we support over 70 countries.
Jollyday is based on Java 11 and can be used directly as dependency via maven or gradle e.g. The calculation basis of the public holidays for each country is based on a xml file and will be mapped via Jakarta XML Binding or Jackson. If you already use one of these libraries in your project than just use the specific jollyday dependency.

If you want to override the public holidays of a provided country like germany, you need to put a holiday file
with the name Holiday_de.xml on your classpath. Jollyday will pick up yours at first. The File and the hierarchy needs
to be identical to the one you want to override.
The holiday file structure needs to look like the one below. The XML Schema Definition file can be viewed here
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration hierarchy="de" description="Germany"
xmlns="https://focus_shift.de/jollyday/schema/holiday"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="https://focus_shift.de/jollyday/schema/holiday https://focus_shift.de/jollyday/schema/holiday/holiday.xsd">
