Hello!
I am looking for some cache library developed in Kotlin
Any suggestions?

[edrd]

It needs to be developed in Kotlin or you mean a library that can be used in Kotlin?

[Tiago Brito]

Needs to be developed in Kotlin

https://github.com/dropbox/Store

You can try this and see if it fits your requirements

[no]

Can I ask why it needs to be developed in kotlin? Out of curiousity?

[Tiago Brito]

Yes, just out of curiosity.
For JVM I know cache2k, caffeine, guava

[Matteo Mirk]

@deactivateduser Dropbox Store looks way more than a cache… seems a kind of Repository Pattern implementation that manages data fetching over the network and caches it. Anyway, seems to be a nice lib.

[Matteo Mirk]

@Tiago Brito here’s a cache lib written in Kotlin https://github.com/appmattus/layercache

[Wilfred]

looks android specific 🤔

[Matteo Mirk]

No it’s not Android specific, read carefully: there’s a base module and an optional layercache-android module that you can add to dependencies. Anyway @Tiago Brito, apart from your curiosity, I would advise to use Caffeine or similar, as they are state of the art in caching implementation on the JVM and no 100% Kotlin lib is on feature par with that yet. If you need something more manageable, you could use tekniq-cache , which is a Kotlin wrapper around Caffeine.

I believe okhttp v3 has been entirely ported to kotlin. It's from square which means pretty much revered and used by virtually any android dev. https://square.github.io/okhttp/

[Matteo Mirk]

OkHttp is an HTTP client, we were discussing about caches here… 🙂
