General purpose redis client

Quick Overview

Jedis is a popular Java client library for Redis, providing a simple and efficient way to interact with Redis databases. It offers a wide range of Redis commands and features, making it easy for Java developers to integrate Redis into their applications.

Pros

  • Simple and intuitive API for Redis operations
  • High performance and thread-safe implementation
  • Supports Redis Cluster, Sentinel, and Pipelining
  • Active development and community support

Cons

  • Limited connection pooling options compared to some alternatives
  • Lack of built-in support for some advanced Redis features
  • May require additional configuration for complex use cases
  • Some users report occasional stability issues in high-concurrency scenarios

Code Examples

  1. Basic Redis operations:
Jedis jedis = new Jedis("localhost");
jedis.set("key", "value");
String value = jedis.get("key");
System.out.println(value); // Output: value
jedis.close();
  1. Using Redis Lists:
Jedis jedis = new Jedis("localhost");
jedis.lpush("mylist", "item1", "item2", "item3");
List<String> items = jedis.lrange("mylist", 0, -1);
System.out.println(items); // Output: [item3, item2, item1]
jedis.close();
  1. Redis Transactions:
Jedis jedis = new Jedis("localhost");
Transaction t = jedis.multi();
t.set("key1", "value1");
t.set("key2", "value2");
t.exec();
jedis.close();
  1. Using Redis Pub/Sub:
Jedis jedis = new Jedis("localhost");
jedis.subscribe(new JedisPubSub() {
    @Override
    public void onMessage(String channel, String message) {
        System.out.println("Received message: " + message);
    }
}, "mychannel");
jedis.close();

Getting Started

To use Jedis in your Java project, first add the dependency to your build file:

For Maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>redis.clients</groupId>
    <artifactId>jedis</artifactId>
    <version>4.3.1</version>
</dependency>

For Gradle:

implementation 'redis.clients:jedis:4.3.1'

Then, you can start using Jedis in your Java code:

import redis.clients.jedis.Jedis;

public class JedisExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Jedis jedis = new Jedis("localhost");
        jedis.set("foo", "bar");
        String value = jedis.get("foo");
        System.out.println(value); // Output: bar
        jedis.close();
    }
}

Make sure you have a Redis server running on localhost (or specify the appropriate host and port when creating the Jedis instance).

Additional Notes

It's important to note that the comparison requested is between Jedis and "Jedis>", but "Jedis>" is not a valid GitHub repository. The comparison provided focuses on the characteristics of Jedis itself, as there is no counterpart to compare it against.

Jedis is a popular Redis client for Java, offering a simple interface for interacting with Redis. It's suitable for many use cases but may lack some advanced features or performance optimizations found in newer clients. When choosing a Redis client, consider your specific requirements, such as performance needs, Redis feature support, and ease of use.

Provides support to increase developer productivity in Java when using Redis, a key-value store. Uses familiar Spring concepts such as a template classes for core API usage and lightweight repository style data access.

Pros of Spring Data Redis

  • Higher-level abstraction, providing a more Spring-like programming model
  • Offers template classes for easier Redis operations and automatic serialization
  • Integrates seamlessly with other Spring projects and supports dependency injection

Cons of Spring Data Redis

  • Steeper learning curve for developers not familiar with Spring ecosystem
  • May introduce unnecessary complexity for simple Redis operations
  • Potentially slower performance due to additional abstraction layers

Code Comparison

Spring Data Redis:

@Autowired
private RedisTemplate<String, Object> redisTemplate;

public void setValue(String key, Object value) {
    redisTemplate.opsForValue().set(key, value);
}

Jedis:

try (Jedis jedis = jedisPool.getResource()) {
    jedis.set(key, value);
}

Key Differences

  • Spring Data Redis provides a more abstracted and Spring-integrated approach
  • Jedis offers a simpler, more direct interface to Redis operations
  • Spring Data Redis handles connection management automatically, while Jedis requires manual connection handling
  • Spring Data Redis supports various serialization strategies out of the box, whereas Jedis requires manual serialization

Both libraries are widely used and have active communities. The choice between them often depends on the project's requirements, existing technology stack, and developer preferences.

General purpose redis client

Pros of StackExchange.Redis

  • Written in C#, offering better integration with .NET applications
  • Supports more advanced Redis features like Pub/Sub, Lua scripting, and pipelining
  • Generally faster performance in .NET environments

Cons of StackExchange.Redis

  • Limited to .NET ecosystem, not suitable for Java or other platforms
  • Steeper learning curve due to more complex API
  • Less active community compared to Jedis

Code Comparison

StackExchange.Redis:

ConnectionMultiplexer redis = ConnectionMultiplexer.Connect("localhost");
IDatabase db = redis.GetDatabase();
db.StringSet("key", "value");
string value = db.StringGet("key");

Jedis:

Jedis jedis = new Jedis("localhost");
jedis.set("key", "value");
String value = jedis.get("key");
jedis.close();

StackExchange.Redis offers a more robust connection management system with its ConnectionMultiplexer, while Jedis provides a simpler, more straightforward API. StackExchange.Redis is ideal for .NET developers working on complex Redis implementations, whereas Jedis is better suited for Java developers or those seeking a more lightweight Redis client.

Both libraries are well-maintained and widely used in their respective ecosystems, but the choice between them largely depends on the programming language and specific requirements of your project.

Supported Redis versions

The most recent version of this library supports redis version 5.0, 6.0, 6.2, 7.0 and 7.2.

The table below highlights version compatibility of the most-recent library versions and Redis versions. Compatibility means communication features, and Redis command capabilities.

Jedis versionSupported Redis versionsJDK Compatibility
3.9+5.0 and 6.2 Family of releases8, 11
>= 4.0Version 5.0 to current8, 11, 17
>= 5.0Version 6.0 to current8, 11, 17

Getting started

To get started with Jedis, first add it as a dependency in your Java project. If you're using Maven, that looks like this:

<dependency>
    <groupId>redis.clients</groupId>
    <artifactId>jedis</artifactId>
    <version>5.0.0</version>
</dependency>

To use the cutting-edge Jedis, check here.

Next, you'll need to connect to Redis. Consider installing a redis-stack docker:

docker run -p 6379:6379 -it redis/redis-stack:latest

For many applications, it's best to use a connection pool. You can instantiate a Jedis connection pool like so:

JedisPool pool = new JedisPool("localhost", 6379);

With a JedisPool instance, you can use a try-with-resources block to get a connection and run Redis commands.

Here's how to run a single SET command within a try-with-resources block:

try (Jedis jedis = pool.getResource()) {
  jedis.set("clientName", "Jedis");
}

Jedis instances implement most Redis commands. See the Jedis Javadocs for the complete list of supported commands.

Easier way of using connection pool

Using a try-with-resources block for each command may be cumbersome, so you may consider using JedisPooled.

JedisPooled jedis = new JedisPooled("localhost", 6379);

Now you can send commands like sending from Jedis.

jedis.sadd("planets", "Venus");

Connecting to a Redis cluster

Jedis lets you connect to Redis Clusters, supporting the Redis Cluster Specification. To do this, you'll need to connect using JedisCluster. See the example below:

Set<HostAndPort> jedisClusterNodes = new HashSet<HostAndPort>();
jedisClusterNodes.add(new HostAndPort("127.0.0.1", 7379));
jedisClusterNodes.add(new HostAndPort("127.0.0.1", 7380));
JedisCluster jedis = new JedisCluster(jedisClusterNodes);

Now you can use the JedisCluster instance and send commands like you would with a standard pooled connection:

jedis.sadd("planets", "Mars");

Using Redis modules

Jedis includes support for Redis modules such as RedisJSON and RediSearch.

See the RedisJSON Jedis or RediSearch Jedis for details.

Failover

Jedis supports retry and failover for your Redis deployments. This is useful when:

  1. You have more than one Redis deployment. This might include two independent Redis servers or two or more Redis databases replicated across multiple active-active Redis Enterprise clusters.
  2. You want your application to connect to one deployment at a time and to fail over to the next available deployment if the first deployment becomes unavailable.

For the complete failover configuration options and examples, see the Jedis failover docs.

Documentation

The Jedis wiki contains several useful articles for using Jedis.

You can also check the latest Jedis Javadocs.

Some specific use-case examples can be found in redis.clients.jedis.examples package of the test source codes.
