guava vs Objectify: What are the differences?
Developers describe guava as "Google Core Libraries for Java 6+". The Guava project contains several of Google's core libraries that we rely on in our Java-based projects: collections, caching, primitives support, concurrency libraries, common annotations, string processing, I/O, and so forth. On the other hand, Objectify is detailed as "Java data access API specifically designed for the Google Cloud Datastore". It is a Java data access API specifically designed for the Google Cloud Datastore. It occupies a "middle ground"; easier to use and more transparent than JDO or JPA, but significantly more convenient than the low-level API libraries that Google provides. Objectify is designed to make novices immediately productive yet also expose the full power of the Datastore.
guava and Objectify are primarily classified as "Java" and "Database" tools respectively.
guava and Objectify are both open source tools. It seems that guava with 35K GitHub stars and 7.83K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Objectify with 676 GitHub stars and 149 GitHub forks.
