Start a FullStack Developer with Compose Multiplatform! What you should know!

What is Compose Multiplatform? Declarative framework for sharing UIs across multiple platforms. Based on Kotlin and Jetpack Compose.

Where should I start learning Compose Multiplatform? Of course, it has to be from the basics, namely the Kotlin language and Jetpack Compose. To learn Kotlin you visit here Jetpack Compose here.

If you’re all set, here are some things you need to know about Compose Multplatform :

1. Declarative Principles

Compose Multiplatform uses a declarative approach to building UIs. Instead of manually managing UI state, developers define their UI in the form of functions that describe how the UI should look based on the current state.

2. Kotlin Multiplatform

Compose Multiplatform utilizes Kotlin Multiplatform to enable code sharing between platforms. You can write business logic that can run on multiple platforms, while keeping the user interface specific to each.

3. Interoperability

Compose Multiplatform is designed to interoperate with existing code and libraries. For example, you can integrate Compose with existing Java or Objective-C code, as well as use third-party libraries that you have used in your previous projects.

4. Cross-platform

This is very certain from Compose Multiplatform supports several major target platforms :
Android: Fully compatible with Jetpack Compose.
iOS: Uses JetBrains Compose Compiler to generate native code.
Desktop: Supports Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Web: Web support is still experimental and evolving.

5. Performance

Compose Multiplatform targets native performance on different platforms, it will ensuring smooth and efficient user experiences.

6. Ecosystem and Libraries

Yeah, maybe this still needs a lot attention because not all existing libraries and tools may be compatible or optimized for Compose Multiplatform. and for third-party integrations may require additional work or may not be available yet.

The conclusion :

Compose Multiplatform is an interesting solution for cross-platform UI development that utilizes the power of Kotlin and a declarative approach. Although it is still developing, I think it is very promising in the future.
