Class Overview

A short reference of the public classes shipped by abap-util and what they are good for.

Public Classes

Class	Kind	Description
zabaputil_cl_util	Façade	Static helpers grouped by prefix (json_, xml_, rtti_, c_, time_, url_param_, filter_, itab_, …). Start here.
zabaputil_cl_util_api	Adapter	Release-neutral system API (UUIDs, BAL, callstack, Base64, XLSX). Called via the façade.
zabaputil_cl_util_api_c	Adapter	ABAP Cloud implementation of _api.
zabaputil_cl_util_api_s	Adapter	Standard ABAP implementation of _api.
zabaputil_cl_util_ext	Helpers	Non-cloud helpers (DDIC reading, transport handling, search helps, conversion exits). Standard ABAP only.
zabaputil_cl_util_db	Service	Generic key/value persistence on top of ZABAPUTIL_T_91.
zabaputil_cl_util_log	Service (instance)	Fluent log builder with CSV/XLSX/BAL export.
zabaputil_cl_util_http	Service (instance)	HTTP handler abstraction for on-prem and ABAP Cloud.
zabaputil_cl_util_msg	Helpers	Extracts messages from structures, exceptions and BAL.
zabaputil_cl_util_range	Builder (instance)	Builds SQL WHERE fragments from ABAP ranges and tokens.
zabaputil_cl_util_xml	Builder (instance)	Fluent XML builder.
zabaputil_cl_util_json_fltr	Helper	Filters for ajson serialization (e.g. drop empty values).
zabaputil_cx_util_error	Exception	Single, predictable exception type used by the library. Inherits from cx_no_check.

Sub-API of the façade

The façade groups helpers by prefix. You will rarely need anything outside of these groups:

Prefix	Topic	Page
c_	Character / strings	Strings
json_	JSON	JSON
xml_, xml_srtti_	XML / typed XML	XML
conv_	Conversion (string ↔ xstring, base64, dates, XLSX)	Conversion
time_	Timestamps and date arithmetic	Time & Date
rtti_	Type reflection	RTTI
boolean_	Boolean helpers	Booleans
url_param_	URL query handling	URL Parameters
filter_	Filter / token / range conversion	Filters
itab_	Internal-table helpers	Internal Tables
msg_	Message extraction	Messages
x_	Exception helpers	Errors
ui5_	UI5 message formatting	UI5 Messages
context_	Runtime context	Context
source_, app_	Source code & app URL helpers	Source & Apps
uuid_	UUID generation	UUIDs

Conventions

• All façade helpers are CLASS-METHODS — call them statically without instantiating the façade.
• Methods that return data are named with a verb-or-get_ prefix and use a RETURNING VALUE(result) parameter.
• Methods that mutate an internal table use a CHANGING parameter (e.g. itab_corresponding, filter_itab).
• Methods that may fail raise zabaputil_cx_util_error — an unchecked exception, so wrap them in TRY/CATCH only when you want to handle the failure locally.

Discoverability

Open the façade class in your IDE and trigger code completion after zabaputil_cl_util=> — the prefix groups make it easy to find what you need without leaving the editor.
