Hello everyone, Today, I want to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of Jetpack Compose in detail. As we know, it is a set of tools for creating modern UIs in Android apps. You can develop stunning interfaces with simple APIs, 30% less code and quicker development! Here are all ✅PROS✅ 😊 THA MAIN ONE! A declarative syntax is easy to read and understand. You don't need to use XML layouts and write a series of actions. Instead, you describe IN THE TEXT what you want elements to be. 😊 It is easier to write UI tests in Kotlin. 😊 You get real-time updates while users interact with the interface. 😊 You can develop reusable UI components for multiple screens and apps (great for creating complex UIs). 😊 Various debugging tools help quickly identify issues in UI code. 😊 Numerous options for UI design let you customize layouts, incorporate animations, modify the app appearance without writing extensive code. However, you should also consider 🚩CONS🚩 😒 Only supports Kotlin; a disadvantage for developers writing in other languages. 😒 Potential compatibility issues: not all popular third-party libraries are written in Kotlin. 😒 Compose renders everything dynamically, which results in longer rendering times, especially when working with animations. 😒 Migrating to Jetpack Compose from a pre-built app with XML layouts may require code changes = the time-consuming process. 🔎 VERDICT The tool is helpful for both creating new applications and updating existing ones. It simplifies the process of developing dynamic and interactive interfaces while reducing the occurrence of errors. It streamlines the customization, theming, and testing of UI components. 🤔 WHAT TO EXPECT? As the platform evolves, we can expect improved performance, Google is constantly working to optimize the framework. Plus, Jetpack Compose works well with existing Android libraries and frameworks. As the framework evolves, we expect better integration with other libraries.
