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.

Jetpack DataStore is a new data storage solution to store data asynchronously, consistently and transactionally. It has two implementations: Preferences DataStore for untyped key-value pairs and Proto DataStore for complex data types using Protobufs. By default it is used with Kotlin coroutines and Flow but additional support for RXJava 2 and 3 is available. The documentation recommends you consider migrating to DataStore if you're currently using SharedPreferences, and we agree with that recommendation.
