What is the difference between these two imports? ```import org.jetbrains.skia import org.jetbrains....

# compose

What is the difference between these two imports?

import org.jetbrains.skia
import org.jetbrains.skiko

As I understand it, Skia is a C++ library, and Skiko is Kotlin bindings for Skia. But what is org.jetbrains.skia? Even after looking at sources I still don't quite get it.

Skia: https://skia.org
skiko: https://github.com/JetBrains/skiko

And @Jacob Applin its an a and an ko 😉

[Nikita Krasnov]

Skia: https://skia.org

skiko: https://github.com/JetBrains/skiko

Duh, obviously. From more practical point of view. Skia is a C++ library while Skiko is Kotlin bindings for it. But I have no idea what is org.jetbrains.skia (even after looking at sources).

you can look at

Skia is the graphics library: https://github.com/JetBrains/skia
Skia is built using skia-pack on github actions: https://github.com/JetBrains/skia-pack
Skia-pack binaries are used by Skiko which exposes them to Kotlin: https://github.com/JetBrains/skiko
And skiko is then used in compose-multiplatform-core

It seems skiko already supports linuxX64, and I opened a PR for linuxArm64 already.

Skiko exposes a lot of Skia bindings directly under the namespace org.jetbrains.skia. it's still Skiko.

@Ivan Matkov, is it true? I've seen a lot of TODO comments in linuxMain. And there is nothing about it in the README.

[Thomas]

With my skiko PR I already got skiko rendering working on linuxArm64, so I guess the TODOs are not that important for basic rendering. So I assume linuxX64 also works
