About Cage
Cage is a CAPTCHA image generator java library. It is fast, small and simple. Its goal is to generate images that are easy to read for a human but impossible or at least very hard for a computer.
Features
- it is open source, Apache v2 licensed so it can be used in enterprise/proprietary projects too
- it supports maven (available from the central maven repository)
- it is fast (on the test pc 3-5 msec / image)
- it is small (a single, small jar, no external dependencies, only Java 1.5 or newer is needed)
- supports a wide variety of effects (symbol crowding, rotating, ripple - waving, outline shadowing and blurring)
- has two predefined templates that mimics those captchas used by large email providers. See Templates for more info.
- it is simple to use and integrate. See QuickStart for a fast start.
