HTTP Requests in Kotlin Multiplatform With Ktor - KMP for Beginners 

Sounds like you're prompting an AI

@@axifimrofficial thank you!

@@andreaslinis1586 it's only equivalent for expect/actual classes. For top level functions and variables it's unnecessary bloat since you'll need a class wrapper around them

​@@PhilippLackneryes that is totally true. But came handy to me to write specific logic for Android workmanager equivalent iOS class. It had lot of functionality so had to be a class

no striaghtforward answer you will get , it depends on a lot factors ! , check Phillip videos about this topic

My brother in Christ, I'd say you should hurry up and make your choice if you're stuck at such a stage. My money is on KMP given Google's support. Of course there are maximums and you need to think about things, I get it. But, I'll push you. Make your choice. You're not making any progress in this direction with your presence in the limbo

​@joeybasile1572 I have a theory. When Google and Oracle had issue with android and Java. Then Google know that they are dependent on java as the primary language and they need to start replacing it with a new one. So in parallel they did two things. One thing was to replace java with another Jvm based language in native android as it will be hard for them to completely replace android codebase with completely different language. But even with Kotlin they can face problem as kotlin is also jvm based and had dependencies on java. So they also worked in completely new language that should be similar to java but not jvm based so they come up with Dart. But now kotlin became huge and it was first made android first language and then they added Jetpack with koltin with multiple features like Hilt, compose, Flows, coroutine and all. And when the kotlin because matured and many developer switched to kotlin from java they saw the opportunity to work on KMM just like their project Flutter to support multiple platforms. And now kotlin can target not just jvm. You can target Assembly , Js for browsers, linux, iOS and android was already supported and you can use kotlin in backend too in multiple platforms. So now they see kotlin become independent and it don't really much dependent on java so now they are trying to scrap their Flutter project as it is hard to make a budget for two different project that provide similar things. So that's why my money is in kotlin as it is already a native android first language and also it is promising in KMM they are making things stable from alpha, beta and experimental apis for different platforms...

​@@deepakbisht4957 well said. I didn't know all of that. Thanks.
