guava vs JSTL: 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, JSTL is detailed as "A collection of useful JSP tags which encapsulates the core functionality common to many JSP applications". It has support for common, structural tasks such as iteration and conditionals, tags for manipulating XML documents, internationalization tags, and SQL tags. It also provides a framework for integrating the existing custom tags with the JSTL tags.
guava and JSTL can be primarily classified as "Java" tools.
guava is an open source tool with 33K GitHub stars and 7.36K GitHub forks. Here's a link to guava's open source repository on GitHub.
