GitHub describes it as Google core libraries for Java. The repository metadata lists Java as its primary language. The metadata lists the Apache-2.0 license. The README describes the project this way: 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 widely used by many other companies as well.

The README section "Guava: Google Core Libraries for Java" states: 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].

The README section "Adding Guava to your build" states: 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 33.6.0-jre or 33.6.0-android . For more about depending on Guava, see [using Guava in your build].

The README section "Adding Guava to your build" states: For more information on when to use api and when to use implementation , consult the Gradle documentation on API and implementation separation.
