Kotlin Fit Converter - Kotlin JVM Library for Garmin FIT files

·1 min

The Kotlin Fit Converter Library is a Kotlin utility for converting Garmin FIT files into different formats like JSON and Protobuf.

It uses version 21.115.00 of the Garmin FIT SDK, which enables reading FIT files. FIT is a protocol for storing and sharing data from fitness devices. The library has an easy-to-use API for integrating FIT conversion into Kotlin or Java applications. It converts to Kotlin data classes, JSON, and Protobuf. Requirements are JDK 19+, Kotlin 1.8.22+, and a FIT file to convert. Usage requires accepting the Garmin FIT SDK license agreement.

For a full background on the library, head to my blog post it’s related to here

It includes:

  • Handlers to convert FIT files to:
    • Kotlin Data Classes
    • JSON

  • GitHub action workflow for tests. The repository also includes Jacoco for test coverage reports and Maven for publishing to local / Github Packages.
