Best practices for evolving Kotlin libraries
Writing and publishing a library is an easy task. Writing maintainable and compatible library — much harder. In this talk, we focus on writing code in a way that prevents some typical errors connected to library authoring. We learn about binary and source compatibility, how to maintain it from the start, and how to communicate with your users about changes. Also, we take a look at the tools that Kotlin gives library authors.
Design of Kotlin Serialization
The kotlinx.serialization library supports serialization of Kotlin classes to different formats on all supported platforms. If you ever wondered how this magic works and what decisions were made to make this library, this talk is for you. First, we will cover various user scenarios, how the library plays together with them, and what classes do you need to solve your problem. Then, we will dive into low-level interfaces and how the compiler plugin helps us avoid reflection. In the last part, an interesting little example of writing your own serialization format will be presented.
