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.



Guava comes in two flavors:

*   The JRE flavor requires JDK 1.8 or higher.
*   If you need support for Android, use
    [the Android flavor](https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/Android). You can

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!**
