# Getting Started

This repository is a very small Java codebase made up of a few example classes. It looks like a documentation or pattern-sample project rather than a full application, so the fastest way to get oriented is to read the three source files and the generated wiki overview.

## What This Project Does

The code demonstrates a handful of field and comment patterns in plain Java classes. There is no obvious framework, service layer, or runtime wiring in the indexed files, so think of this repo as a compact set of examples for naming, metadata tables, and tagged code blocks.

## Recommended Reading Order

1. [`overview.md`](../overview.md) — start here for the high-level summary of the repository.
2. [`Mixed.java`](../../src/main/java/Mixed.java) — the simplest class; good for learning the basic style.
3. [`PatternA.java`](../../src/main/java/PatternA.java) — shows a tagged code block pattern with add-start/add-end markers.
4. [`PatternB.java`](../../src/main/java/PatternB.java) — shows a compact field-to-type mapping table.

## Key Entry Points

There are no highly-referenced classes identified in this codebase. The practical entry points are the three visible classes:

- [`Mixed`](../../src/main/java/Mixed.java)
- [`PatternA`](../../src/main/java/PatternA.java)
- [`PatternB`](../../src/main/java/PatternB.java)

If you only have time to read one file first, start with [`Mixed.java`](../../src/main/java/Mixed.java). It is the smallest and gives you the basic shape of the code.

## Project Structure

The repository is flat and intentionally small:

- `.codewiki/` — generated documentation and repository map files
- `src/main/java/` — Java source files
  - [`Mixed.java`](../../src/main/java/Mixed.java)
  - [`PatternA.java`](../../src/main/java/PatternA.java)
  - [`PatternB.java`](../../src/main/java/PatternB.java)

There are no visible modules, packages, or sub-systems in the indexed tree beyond these files.

## Configuration

No build files or framework configuration files were visible in the indexed repository snapshot. That means there is nothing obvious to configure at the application level yet.

If you are searching for setup or runtime controls, check first for the usual Java project files such as:

- `pom.xml`
- `build.gradle` / `build.gradle.kts`
- `application.yml` / `application.properties`
- `.env` or other local environment files

In the current snapshot, the most important “configuration” is inside the source files themselves: the hard-coded field declarations, the tag markers in `PatternA`, and the field map in `PatternB`.

## Common Patterns

A few conventions appear repeatedly across the code:

- **Plain field declarations** — classes mostly contain private fields with simple initial values.
- **Inline comments** — several fields include short comments, including Japanese annotations.
- **Tagged code regions** — `PatternA` uses `// ANK-0001 ADD START` and `// ANK-0001 ADD END` markers to bracket a section.
- **Metadata tables** — `PatternB` stores field name/type pairs in a `String[][]` constant.
- **Minimal class bodies** — the classes are intentionally small, which suggests they are examples or fixtures rather than business logic.

## How to Start Reading

Use this sequence when you open the code for the first time:

1. Read [`Mixed.java`](../../src/main/java/Mixed.java) to understand the simplest class style.
2. Read [`PatternA.java`](../../src/main/java/PatternA.java) to learn the tagged-region convention.
3. Read [`PatternB.java`](../../src/main/java/PatternB.java) to see how structured field metadata is represented.
4. Return to [`overview.md`](../overview.md) if you want the larger picture again.

That is usually enough to understand the repository quickly and confidently.
