Today, dependency injection is widely adopted across various programming languages and platforms, including Java, Kotlin, C#, and JavaScript, among others. It can reduce boilerplate code and time consuming. For android development , there are two popular dependency injection. They are Hilt and Koin.
Hilt ( Compile Time )
Pros
Cons
Koin ( Runtime Type )
Pros?
Cons
1 : No Compile Error : Koin don’t provide compile time error. Therefore , it can lead to runtime error if dependencies are not configured.
2 : Bad Performance?: Resolve dependencies at runtime and it can effect the performance.
I prefer Hilt because of google is maintained with best android principles and compile checking error. But you can choose which one is suitable with the project.
