Realm Kotlin
Realm Kotlin is a local, object-oriented NoSQL database engine designed for Kotlin Multiplatform applications. It enables developers to persist structured application data directly as objects, eliminating the need for traditional relational table structures while ensuring information remains accessible during offline periods.
The library distinguishes itself through a compiler-plugin-based architecture that maps standard language classes to database models at compile time. It utilizes zero-copy memory mapping and a lazy-loading query engine to manage data efficiently, while a shared C++ core ensures consistent behavior across mobile and desktop environments.
Beyond core storage, the framework provides reactive data management, allowing application components to receive automatic updates whenever underlying records are modified. It also supports delta-based synchronization, which replicates only specific changes to a remote backend to maintain state consistency across multiple devices.
The project includes integrated tools for database performance benchmarking on both mobile and virtual machine environments. It also provides build system verification utilities to ensure stable dependency management across diverse project structures.
