# zookeeper vs spring-boot

zookeeper and spring-boot share 4 technologies: JAX-RS, jakarta.servlet:jakarta.servlet-api, org.slf4j:slf4j-api, and ch.qos.logback:logback-classic. Both are written in Java.

- [apache/zookeeper](https://seerepo.com/r/apache/zookeeper): Apache ZooKeeper
- [spring-projects/spring-boot](https://seerepo.com/r/spring-projects/spring-boot): Spring Boot helps you to create Spring-powered, production-grade applications and services with absolute minimum fuss.

## What they share and what sets them apart

- In common: JAX-RS, jakarta.servlet:jakarta.servlet-api, org.slf4j:slf4j-api, ch.qos.logback:logback-classic

- Size: Lines written by people and agents, without generated ones; code files, without tests.
- Who writes it: A commit counts as AI's when it carries its signature: a Co-Authored-By line, its author name or the merge of its branch.
- Activity: From GitHub and its history, on the day SeeRepo read it.
- Tests: The files that test the code, and the share of code files a test imports.
