You don't need to include additional libraries in your project. There are no dependency conflicts. In addition, RestFB is highly portable and can be used in both Android projects and normal Java applications.
Although we provide a standard implementation for our core components, each component can be replaced with a custom implementation. This allows RestFB to be easily integrated into any kind of project. Even Android projects are supported.
TThe RestFB API is really minimal and you only need to use one method to get information from Facebook and one to publish new items to Facebook. We provide default implementations for all the core components, so you can drop the jar into your project and be ready to go.
Our Facebook types are simple POJOs with special annotations. This configuration is designed for ease of use and can be used to define custom types very easily.
Newest Version of the
library is available from RestFB's home on Github.

changelog here.
RestFB is a single JAR - just drop it into your application and you're ready to go. Download it from
Maven Central:
It's easy to work directly with the RestFB source code. This is necessary if you need to use an unreleased version or
want to contribute to the code. It's very important to know that RestFB is using
the Lombok
code generator. All types use special annotations to generate the boilerplate code for the
setters and getters. It's important to know that we made the design
decision to handle Lists and Maps differently - the
Lombok annotations are not used for them
and we provide add(), remove() and getList() methods.
The returned List is immutable to prevent inner Lists and Maps
from being altered by other objects. This idea can be found at Martin Fowler's blog.
You need to install Lombok in your IDE to compile RestFB. If you don't, you will see a lot of compilation errors and missing methods. More information about installing Lombok for different IDEs can be found here.
