#### Utility: compare with alternatives


        There is always *some* alternative to adding a new feature to Guava, even if it's just
        forking Guava yourself.


        We want to see that new features have some significant advantage over the alternatives.
        These advantages can take

    - If users want all of Guava, they depend on guava, which, as of Guava
    27.0, depends on
    listenablefuture-9999.0-empty-to-avoid-conflict-with-guava. The 9999.0-...
    version number is enough for some build systems (notably, Gradle) to select
    that empty artifact over the "real" listenablefuture-1.0 -- avoiding a
    conflict with the copy of ListenableFuture in guava itself. If users are

# Response - Change Status Code { #response-change-status-code }

You probably read before that you can set a default [Response Status Code](../tutorial/response-status-code.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.

But in some cases you need to return a different status code than the default.

## Use case { #use-case }

For example, imagine that you want to return an HTTP status code of "OK" `200` by default.
