JasperReports – An Embeddable Java Reporting Library For Developers

For business users, the cornerstone of business intelligence is the ability to see the information they need as quickly and as clearly as possible. Reports that are too complex to create or use soon lose value. With JasperReports, you can design, deploy or embed our world-class reporting tools in your applications or stand alone reporting environment. Your users will gain the enterprise-grade reporting tools they need to create reports with unprecedented ease, from the simplest invoice to the most complex dashboards.

”Business intelligence continues to rank at the top of CIO’s must-have lists,” said Wayne Eckerson, research director at The Data Warehouse Institute.  “But IT budgets are being cut across the boards, and this includes critical business intelligence projects. Jaspersoft... addresses the need for BI in a difficult economy, and relieves enterprises of the need to make difficult decisions about which BI project they can afford to fund, and which ones they must cancel or postpone.”

JasperReports is the world’s most complete, most popular Java reporting solution. The JasperReports Library is implemented in 100% pure Java in order to seamlessly embed within your application.

iReport - Your Report Designer - Power and Simplicity

"We have replaced more than 1000 reports originally developed in Crystal Reports with JasperReports using iReport. Reports are part of our ERP, retail and billing solutions."  ASW Inzenjering

The heart of the JasperReports interface is iReport—the visual report designer specifically designed for JasperReports. iReport gives administrators and report designers total control over the contents as well as the look and feel of every report. This kind of control ensures their report presentation is every bit as powerful as it is easily understood. With iReport, designers can create web-based and print-ready reports in virtually any style—dashboards, tables, crosstabs, charts, and gauges. 

iReport is a 100% pure Java application, which is available as a rich client or a NetBeans IDE plug-in. iReport includes full support for JasperReports and JasperServer and enables business users to:

• Create pixel-perfect reports with any layout
• Live-preview reports in any format
• Choose page-orientation or continuous output for printing or screen
• Upload and download reports to and from the JasperServer repository
• Customize and edit Flash based charts
