NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar.

Trial
As Kotlin is used increasingly for both mobile and server-side development, the associated ecosystem continues to evolve. Koin is a Kotlin framework that handles one of the routine problems in software development: dependency injection. Although you can choose from a variety of dependency injection frameworks for Kotlin, our teams have come to prefer the simplicity of Koin. Koin avoids using annotations and injects either through constructors or by mimicking Kotlin's lazy initialization so that objects are injected only when needed. This is in contrast to the statically compiled Dagger injection framework for Android. Our developers like the lightweight nature of this framework and its built-in testability.
