Hello, this might be a noob question, from what i've seen about compose is that uses Skia or Skiko to render UI, does anyone have an article that explains what is and how it works? just to learn about it, Thanks!

skiko is a kotlin wrapper on skia. it’s open source, so you can see what’s inside

don’t think there’s an article, but generally it is JNI wrapper to Skia functionality, while Skia is pretty well documented

Thanks for the info @solidogen, @olonho

Skia is an Open Source 2D rendering library that came from Android

We’ve been using it since the very first version of Android

It’s also used by Chrome for instance
