I'm looking at some dependency injection frameworks for my next project. at the moment i would prefer Koin over Dagger because of its simplicity. Any thoughts on that, pitfalls I have to be careful with, other frameworks I should have a look at, etc?

Depending on how big the project will be, you might want to check out Kodein. It’s a lot quicker and easier to use than Dagger, and it’s made specifically for Kotlin (in Kotlin).

I'll have a look. Thanks!

Toothpick to the rescue

[Fré Dumazy]

Did somebody already publish their research on Dagger vs Koin vs Kodein vs Toothpick vs ... ? 😅
It's hard to figure out the main differences. Looks like I'll be busy this weekend 😛

Dagger evaluates at compile time rather than using reflection and is more established so getting support from the community could be easier.

Seconding Kodein. Like ToothPick, but with all the Kotlin sugar we love. I don’t think Koin is nearly as mature right now.

@Michael Richardson what uses reflection?

[Michael Richardson]

As I understand it, Kodein and Koin use reflection.
