Decision Snapshot

Problem solved

Guava solves the problem of missing or cumbersome functionality in the Java standard library by providing a comprehensive set of well-tested utilities and collection types, reducing boilerplate and improving code quality.

Deployment reality

The available setup signal starts with: Maven: <dependency><groupId>com.google.guava</groupId><artifactId>guava</artifactId><version>33.6.0-jre</version></dependency>. Treat this as a starting point, then ask Codex or Claude to inspect the README, environment variables, runtime version, and deployment target before production use.

Commercial use

The recorded license is Apache-2.0. This is a useful commercial-use signal, but teams should still verify license text, dependencies, model/API terms, and trademark constraints.

Capability ceiling

google/guava still needs a clearer capability analysis. Use the metadata as a discovery signal, not as a production recommendation.

Source and compliance noteLast synced: Aug 9, 2026

Editorial Evaluation

google/guava is tracked as a Java project in the general open source area. This evaluation combines public GitHub metadata, category signals, short source summaries, and Git-Stars editorial rules rather than copying project documentation.

Momentum check: the repository has 52k total stars, with +93 today, +0 this week, and +0 this month. These growth windows help distinguish durable adoption from short-lived visibility spikes.

Maintenance check: current activity is Active; the latest push was 15 days ago, and the open issue queue is 747, about 1.44% of total stars. Treat this as an adoption signal, not a substitute for engineering due diligence.

Adoption check: 11k forks and 52k watchers suggest how often the project is reused or followed. License signal: Apache-2.0. Always verify license compatibility before commercial or internal use.

Practical fit: this project is most relevant when you need Java teams evaluating ecosystem-native tooling. Be cautious when you need a legal review, security audit, or production SLA.

Source check: Git-Stars currently has 2 explicit source reference(s) for this report and a recent growth signal of 221. Follow the original GitHub repository for final install, security, and release information.

Overview

Guava is a set of core Java libraries from Google that includes new collection types (such as multimap and multiset), immutable collections, a graph library, and utilities for concurrency, I/O, hashing, primitives, strings, and more. It is widely used on most Java projects within Google and by many other companies.

Key Features

- New collection types (multimap, multiset, etc.) and immutable collections - Graph library and utilities for concurrency, I/O, hashing, primitives, strings - Two flavors: JRE (Java 8+) and Android
