Jackson vs RxJava: What are the differences?

Jackson: A suite of data-processing tools for Java. It is a suite of data-processing tools for Java (and the JVM platform), including the flagship streaming JSON parser / generator library, matching data-binding library (POJOs to and from JSON) and additional data format modules to process data encoded in Avro, BSON, CBOR, CSV, Smile, (Java) Properties, Protobuf, XML or YAML; and even the large set of data format modules to support data types of widely used data types such as Guava, Joda; RxJava: Reactive Extensions for the JVM. A library for composing asynchronous and event-based programs by using observable sequences for the Java VM.

Jackson and RxJava belong to "Java Tools" category of the tech stack.

Jackson and RxJava are both open source tools. RxJava with 40K GitHub stars and 6.74K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Jackson with 4.89K GitHub stars and 924 GitHub forks.

TimeHop, MDOffice, and Poq are some of the popular companies that use RxJava, whereas Jackson is used by Conceptboard, Wealthsimple, and 浙江网竞. RxJava has a broader approval, being mentioned in 58 company stacks & 36 developers stacks; compared to Jackson, which is listed in 7 company stacks and 12 developer stacks.

      What are some alternatives to Jackson and RxJava?
      guava
      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.
      Java 8
      It is a revolutionary release of the world’s no 1 development platform. It includes a huge upgrade to the Java programming model and a coordinated evolution of the JVM, Java language, and libraries. Java 8 includes features for productivity, ease of use, improved polyglot programming, security and improved performance.
      Quarkus
      It tailors your application for GraalVM and HotSpot. Amazingly fast boot time, incredibly low RSS memory (not just heap size!) offering near instant scale up and high density memory utilization in container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes. We use a technique we call compile time boot.
      Apache FreeMarker
      It is a "template engine"; a generic tool to generate text output (anything from HTML to auto generated source code) based on templates. It's a Java package, a class library for Java programmers.
      MyBatis
      It is a first class persistence framework with support for custom SQL, stored procedures and advanced mappings. It eliminates almost all of the JDBC code and manual setting of parameters and retrieval of results. It can use simple XML or Annotations for configuration and map primitives, Map interfaces and Java POJOs (Plain Old Java Objects) to database records.
