Trivia

In a "Kindergarten" children should be cherished and cared for like young plants. The German name has persisted to this day and has spread to other countries. In reference to the famous "Kindergarten", the HashGarten is a similar construction, but for hash algorithms.

Internals

• HashGarten is written entirely in Java and it uses the Swing framework
• It uses Jacksum as a lib and calls its API, it does not call Jacksum by the command line
• It requires FlatLaF to get a modern look and feel. See also https://github.com/JFormDesigner/FlatLaf
• The GUI supports the same program options as Jacksum does, so you can initialize the GUI even by the command line
• It reads and stores GUI properties from/to $HOME/.HashGarten.properties
