`jabit-core` contains the Bitmessage context and all entities that will be used by the other modules.
Whatever you do, you'll need this.
`jabit-networking` manages connections to the Bitmessage network. This is probably the most complicated
part of the Jabit project. TODO
`jabit-repositories` is where the entities from core are stored. The default implementation uses JDBC
to access a H2 database. It should mostly be easy to use other SQL databases (I'll happily accept pull
requests) but if you want to use some NoSQL database or a very restricted one (as with SQLite) you might
want to create your own implementation.
`jabit-cryptography-bouncy` impmlements everything related to encryption, cryptographic hashes and
secure random numbers. As the name suggests, it uses the [Bouncycastle](https://www.bouncycastle.org/)
library.
`jabit-cryptography-spongy` is basically a copy of the spongy one, but using
[Spongycastle](https://rtyley.github.io/spongycastle/) instead.
`jabit-wif` lets you import from and export to the Wallet Import Format, which is used by PyBitmessage to store its identities.
`jabit-extensions` you won't usually need, it contains a few helper classes for if you want to build protocol extensions.
