How can I load all entities of a given kind from Cloud Datastore with Objectify?

Question

I have about a hundred objects stored in the Cloud Datastore with Kind = Animal. I would like to get all Animals from the database via the low level API or with Objectify.

Answer 1

With Objectify you can do the following:

List<Animal> animals = ofy().load().type(Animal.class).list();

Read the documentation on queries it explains in detail how to query the Datastore using Objectify. In some ways I find the Objectify documentation to be much simpler to understand and concise compared to the GAE documentation.
