During development of an Android App, the developer has to persist some java class in different ways.
Kripton is a java library with the aim to provide a simple and uniform way to manage persistence of Java classes in different flavours.
Supported persistence format are:
- JSON
- XML
- (java) properties
- CBOR
- YAML
For Android platform, there are other persistence mechanism supported:
- Shared preference
- SQLite database
- REST service, throws Retrofit library integration, managed at runtime
Kripton use the power of annotation processor. With this tool, is possible to create java classes persistence code simply with an annotation. There are many other libraries that do this, but Kripton allows to persists java object in different ways with an unique set of annotation and mechanism.
There are two platform: the android environment and generic Java environment. For each platform there is a version of library. Android platform already include a json library and xml parser library. Java JDK does not include a json library and have different xml parser libraries.
