JetBrains has introduced Projector, an online service designed to simplify the process of finding libraries for MPP, a challenge that empowers developers to build cross-platform mobile, desktop, and web applications from a single codebase.
Now in alpha state and billed as an experimental search platform for Kotlin Multiplatform libraries, klibs.io has officially launched. This innovative service empowers developers to discover a Kotlin Multiplatform library for their desired goal, supporting a range of platforms including the Android JVM, iOS, JavaScript, and more. The website indexes information from Maven Central, leveraging AI-generated metadata to enhance search results.
The primary objective of klibs.io is to simplify the process of evaluating libraries by furnishing comprehensive KMP-related data.
The diversity of libraries spans from Coil’s Android-focused image-loading capabilities to Arrow’s typed interfaces for purposeful programming, and extends to Kodein’s dependency retrieval container as well as PeopleInSpace, a Kotlin Multiplatform pattern challenge that lists individuals currently present in a specific area. According to klibs.io, a comprehensive search engine has connected with over 1,400 libraries worldwide. While builders may require less attention to their projects, library authors reap significant benefits from increased exposure and recognition of their work, according to JetBrains. For a comprehensive guide, directions are readily available within our FAQs section.
