twitter/util

Twitter Util is a comprehensive, modular utility library for the JVM that provides foundational components for asynchronous programming, concurrency, and resource management. It offers a rich set of tools for caching, serialization (JSON, YAML, Thrift), and metrics collection, alongside utilities for configuration, validation, and security. The system also includes testing helpers for mocking and ZooKeeper integration, all structured to support both Scala and Java development.

About this page

  • The description of this project is derived from its own commit history, not from its README.
  • The score is its highest published measurement, taken on 3 August 2026 at a pinned commit. It is not a live figure and does not change until the project is measured again.
  • Measured at commit 8ea6954b5f — the exact code this score is about.
  • Scored under rubric rubric-2026.08.18. Score the same commit under that rubric and you get the same number.
