Unlocks explicit type handling for enhanced safety and flexibility, offering unified type manipulation, automatic serialization, and specialized types like NotBlankString, PositiveInt, and NotEmptyList.
Kotools Types is a Kotlin Multiplatform library providing types that model real-world concepts with correct and predictable behavior.
Instead of exposing the limitations of underlying platforms, these types follow their domain definitions. For example, the Integer type represents a mathematical integer and does not overflow.
By using Kotools Types, you can build APIs that are more explicit, easier to reason about, and less error-prone across JVM, JS, and Native platforms.
You can add Kotools Types to your project by using Gradle or Maven.
Just replace the $version or the ${kotools.types.version} variables by the
latest version or by another one available in the
changelog.
implementation("org.kotools:types:$version")
implementation "org.kotools:types:$version"
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.kotools

${kotools.types.version}
See the dedicated documentation for serializing types from the
org.kotools.typespackage using the kotlinx.serialization library.
