greenrobot-common

greenrobot-common provides general purpose utilities for Android and Java projects. Having its root in the early days of Android development, the library is minimalistic, tiny in size (jar < 100k), and focuses on efficiency and performance.

Features

The Utility classes cover stream-based IO, files, strings, and date/time. There are also efficient hash map and hash set implementation for primitive long keys.

Another important part of greenrobot-common are hash functions. Our Murmur3A&F implementations are the fastest Java implementations known to us. Murmur3 hash functions are one of today's best hash functions available with excellent properties. At 3,6 GByte/s, we measured our Murmur3F implementation to outperform Guava's by factor 10.

Speaking of Guava, this project is bare bones compared to a rich menu offered by Guava, or, let's say, Apache Commons. greenrobot-common is not a framework, it's rather a small set of utilities to make Java standard approaches more convenient or more efficient.
