Difference between Java libraries on GitHub

[Nathan]

Hello!

What's the difference between https://github.com/googleads/google-ads-java vs https://github.com/googleads/googleads-java-lib ?

I'm working on an internal application that needs to pause and update Ads campaigns, and I could use a pointer to which library I should be using.

Hi Nathan, https://github.com/googleads/google-ads-java is new implementation for the google ads api, the result is same but all client need move for this version.

Hi Nathan,

Yes, Adrian is correct. google-ads-java is a client library for Google Ads API, and googleads-java-lib is for AdWords API and Ad Manager API. You may use them depending on what product you are using.

Please let me know if you have further concerns.
