guava vs SWT: 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, SWT is detailed as "Open source widget toolkit for Java". It is an open source widget toolkit for Java designed to provide efficient, portable access to the user-interface facilities of the operating systems on which it is implemented.
guava and SWT belong to "Java Tools" category of the tech stack.
guava is an open source tool with 38K GitHub stars and 8.53K GitHub forks. Here's a link to guava's open source repository on GitHub.
