Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile
Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile (KMM) is a cross-platform mobile development framework introduced by JetBrains. It allows developers to share code across multiple platforms, including Android and iOS, using the Kotlin programming language. With KMM, developers can write shared business logic, data models, network code, and more, while still having the flexibility to write platform-specific code when necessary.
One of the key advantages of KMM is its seamless integration with existing Kotlin technologies. Kotlin is a modern and powerful programming language that is widely adopted in the Android development community. By leveraging Kotlin's expressive syntax, strong type system, and other language features, KMM enables developers to write concise and maintainable code that can be shared across platforms.
KMM provides a unified development experience by allowing developers to work within their familiar Kotlin IDEs and tools. It offers a set of APIs and libraries that enable platform-independent functionality, such as interacting with databases, consuming web services, and handling asynchronous operations. Additionally, KMM supports platform-specific UI development, allowing developers to create native user interfaces using the respective platform's UI frameworks and components.
