# Guava: Google Core Libraries for Java

[![Latest release](https://img.shields.io/github/release/google/guava.svg)](https://github.com/google/guava/releases/latest)
[![Build Status](https://github.com/google/guava/workflows/CI/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://github.com/google/guava/actions)
[![OpenSSF Best Practices](https://bestpractices.coreinfrastructure.org/projects/7197/badge)](https://bestpractices.coreinfrastructure.org/projects/7197)

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, caching, primitives, strings, and more! It
is widely used on most Java projects within Google, and widely used by many
other companies as well.

Guava comes in two flavors:

*   The JRE flavor requires JDK 1.8 or higher.
*   If you need support for Android, use the Android flavor. You can find the
    Android Guava source in the [`android` directory].

[`android` directory]: https://github.com/google/guava/tree/master/android

## Adding Guava to your build

Guava's Maven group ID is `com.google.guava`, and its artifact ID is `guava`.
Guava provides two different "flavors": one for use on a (Java 8+) JRE and one
for use on Android or by any library that wants to be compatible with Android.
These flavors are specified in the Maven version field as either `32.0.0-jre` or
`32.0.0-android`. For more about depending on Guava, see
[using Guava in your build].

To add a dependency on Guava using Maven, use the following:

```xml
<dependency>
  <groupId>com.google.guava</groupId>
  <artifactId>guava</artifactId>
  <version>32.0.0-jre</version>
  <!-- or, for Android: -->
  <version>32.0.0-android</version>
</dependency>
```

To add a dependency using Gradle:

```gradle
dependencies {
  // Pick one:

  // 1. Use Guava in your implementation only:
  implementation("com.google.guava:guava:32.0.0-jre")

  // 2. Use Guava types in your public API:
  api("com.google.guava:guava:32.0.0-jre")

  // 3. Android - Use Guava in your implementation only:
  implementation("com.google.guava:guava:32.0.0-android")

  // 4. Android - Use Guava types in your public API:
  api("com.google.guava:guava:32.0.0-android")
}
```

For more information on when to use `api` and when to use `implementation`,
consult the
[Gradle documentation on API and implementation separation](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/java_library_plugin.html#sec:java_library_separation).

## Snapshots and Documentation

Snapshots of Guava built from the `master` branch are available through Maven
using version `HEAD-jre-SNAPSHOT`, or `HEAD-android-SNAPSHOT` for the Android
flavor.

## IMPORTANT WARNINGS

1.  APIs marked with the `@Beta` annotation at the class or method level are
    subject to change. They can be modified in any way, or even removed, at any
    time. If your code is a library itself (i.e., it is used on the CLASSPATH of
    users outside your own control), you should not use beta APIs unless you
    [repackage] them. **If your code is a library, we strongly recommend using
    the [Guava Beta Checker] to ensure that you do not use any `@Beta` APIs!**

2.  APIs without `@Beta` will remain binary-compatible for the indefinite
    future. (Previously, we sometimes removed such APIs after a deprecation
    period. The last release to remove non-`@Beta` APIs was Guava 21.0.) Even
    `@Deprecated` APIs will remain (again, unless they are `@Beta`). We have no
    plans to start removing things again, but officially, we're leaving our
    options open in case of surprises (like, say, a serious security problem).

3.  Guava has one dependency that is needed for linkage at runtime:
    `com.google.guava:failureaccess:1.0.1`. It also has
    [some annotation-only dependencies][guava-deps], which we discuss in more
    detail at that link.

4.  Serialized forms of ALL objects are subject to change unless noted
    otherwise. Do not persist these and assume they can be read by a future
    version of the library.

5.  Our classes are not designed to protect against a malicious caller. You
    should not use them for communication between trusted and untrusted code.

6.  For the mainline flavor, we test the libraries using only OpenJDK 8 and
    OpenJDK 11 on Linux. Some features, especially in `com.google.common.io`,
    may not work correctly in other environments. For the Android flavor, our
    unit tests also run on API level 15 (Ice Cream Sandwich).
