kmp-awesome VS ktor

Keep in mind that you can't use every library that's available in kotlin, for a multimodule platform project. You can use them in the android part, but not in the shared module. Like you can't use Retrofit but can use Ktor, you can't use room for your apps database but can use SQLDelight.. A slight collection of useful libraries can be found here: https://github.com/terrakok/kmm-awesome

Here is a curated list of KMM libraries you may check for: https://github.com/terrakok/kmm-awesome Challenges - Project setup Of course, there were lots of challenges encountered during KMM integration. Here are a list of items that I found challenging:

In paralel Jetbrains has created a lot of KMP frameworks that are awesome. One of them is Ktor that helps "create asynchronous client and server applications."

Ktor, a powerful web framework built with Kotlin, offers a lightweight and flexible solution for building web applications. In this article, we will guide you through the process of creating a Ktor project manually using Gradle and SDKMAN!. By following the steps below, you'll have a basic Ktor project up and running in no time.

take a look at http4k and ktor for Kotlin specific frameworks Spring has first class support for Kotlin e.g. the following will give you reactive HTTP endpoints when using spring-webflux (this is what is use at work):

Ktor (Microservices framework by JetBrains)

For Android you should use a more mobile friendly framework like Retrofit or if you use Kotlin you can use the multi-platform Ktor library with it's client module

And last but not least, Ktor Client as our HTTP client. https://ktor.io/ It's a pretty amazing http client library and integrates well with Kotlinx serialization and Coroutines.

Kotlin is going to be great with almost every single JVM server. Spring works well with Kotlin, and is directly supported, but spring is also massive, very bloated. I recommend looking at https://github.com/ktorio/ktor which continues to serve all of my needs very well, integrates fantastically with Kotlin coroutines, and has very fast startup time and very good performance.

For the sake of the test, we use Ktor - the easiest way to do so is to use initializer.

I know you are looking for Spring Boot and/or Quarkus, but have you tried ktor. Just curios if you had a particular reason for choosing the other 2. Disclaimer: I haven't used ktor.
