A KSP library that processes annotations and generates code that uses Official Jetpack Compose Navigation under the hood. It hides the complex, non-type-safe and boilerplate code you would have to write otherwise. No need to learn a whole new framework to navigate - most APIs are either the same as with the Jetpack Components or inspired by them.

...Unlike many other languages with similar capabilities, async and await are not keywords in Kotlin and are not even part of its standard library. Moreover, Kotlin's concept of suspending function provides a safer and less error-prone abstraction for asynchronous operations than futures and promises. kotlinx.coroutines is a rich library for coroutines developed by JetBrains. It contains a number of high-level coroutine-enabled primitives that this guide covers, including launch, async and others. Coroutines can be thought of as light-weight threads, but there is a number of important differences that make their real-life usage very different from threads.

KSP is Kotlin’s lightweight, idiomatic alternative to Java annotation processing that gives compile-time access to Kotlin program structure. Rather than forcing Kotlin through Java’s annotation APIs, it exposes Kotlin-first symbols—classes, functions, properties, types—so processors can generate code efficiently. The design dramatically reduces incremental build overhead by operating directly on symbols without compiling stubs, which speeds up large multi-module projects. Processors run as...
