We have prepared answers to some of the most common questions asked about Kotlin application development:
Is Kotlin a good choice for backend development?
Kotlin is expressive and flexible, proving a good candidate for backend development. Kotlin provides full compatibility with Java code, which ensures seamless integration with existing Java libraries and frameworks. Developers use well-known technologies, but arrive at magnificent, modern solutions that weren’t possible before. Among many state-of-the-art frameworks and libraries that perfectly integrate with Kotlin, Spring might be the most important. Spring takes advantage of Kotlin’s fresh features, and utilizes them in ravishing ways, giving developers a powerful backend development tool. Since Kotlin and Java share a common virtual machine, Java developers have a head start, and don’t need much time to explore the immense world of Kotlin programming. Fast and thorough understanding of the secrets of Kotlin allows developers to deliver a better app in a shorter period of time, which cuts down development costs. Furthermore, Kotlin supports the concept of coroutines, which greatly accelerates the app, allowing the application to handle more while still ensuring top performance. With Kotlin, developers take a deep dive into application development, and know that in case of an emergency, Kotlin will be their lifeboat. Take a plunge, too. Trust Kotlin.
Is Kotlin the right choice for mobile development?
Absolutely! In 2019 Google I/O added Kotlin next to Java as the official Android development language. Besides Android, thanks to a friendly in-built API, Kotlin gives developers an opportunity to utilize all iOS frameworks, and therefore create stunning iOS apps. Apart from being a top pick when it comes to cross-platform development, Kotlin is a fruitful solution to basically any programming problem. With high readability and clean modern syntax, Kotlin allows achieving the same with fewer lines of code as compared to Java, which results in shorter development time, and therefore less money spent on the project. Given high demand for mobile technologies, the challenge of delivering a satisfactory app is a big one. Kotlin is up to the challenge, allowing developers to use a powerful, cutting-edge language to create outstanding mobile apps.
Is Kotlin good for cross-platform development?
Kotlin features powerful multi-platform capabilities while retaining clarity and ease of code maintenance. The ingenious mechanism of expected and actual declarations makes the common source define the expected declaration while it’s up to the actual source to provide the platform-specific declaration. Developers write code only once, and can be sure the app works flawlessly on both Android and iOS. As a result, Kotlin effectively reduces development time of the application. Another multi-platform benefit of Kotlin, and also a proof of its excellence, is the ability to transform existing applications to also support iOS. Thanks to Kotlin, developers don’t have to rewrite the entire application, because only a few changes suffice in most cases. Kotlin comes with core libraries and tools suitable for Java Virtual Machine (JVM), JavaScript (JS) and native development, which allows sharing code across all platforms. Kotlin is a superb choice for cross-platform development.
Can you use Kotlin for e-commerce?
In the modern world, online shopping is flourishing rapidly, so more and more businesses decide to take to the web. Online store development comes with a couple of harrowing challenges. Not only do developers have to ensure the safety of client’s personal information and secure every step of the payment process, but also deliver an intuitive, slick UI, which makes using the app a pleasure. But don’t fret. Kotlin takes care of all these concerns, providing a clean, modern solution to e-commerce application development. Kotlin is significantly safer than Java thanks to a set of in-built features that prevent developers from making design mistakes that could expose the app to security risks. A devoted team of Kotlin developers makes sure Kotlin is free of bugs and vulnerabilities. Moreover, Kotlin easily integrates with a variety of payment options, including PayPal and Stripe, and offers a set of stunning UI elements, which make the app elegant and professional. If you’re interested in building an e-commerce app, Kotlin is your best bet.
