Features

##Features## Kritpon is composed by two runtime-libraries (one for Android plaftorm and one for Java plaftform) and a java annotation processor. Annotation processor generates code which is based on runtime libraries: kripton-android-library and kripton-library.

Supported field types

• All primitive types (bool, int, long, float, etc..)
• All simple types (Boolean, String, Byte, Float, Integer, etc..)
• List collections: if you use List interface, an ArrayList will be used.
• Set collections: if you use Set inteface, an HashSet will be used.
• Map collections: if you use Map interface, an HashLinkedMap will be used.
• Array collections
• POJO bean type with @BindType annotation
• Virtually every kind of other type thanks to type adapter you can define and use.

Supported persistence methods

Supported persistence methods are:

• XML (since 1.0.0)
• JSON (since 1.0.0)
• YAML (since 1.5.0)
• CBOR (since 1.5.0)
• (java) properties (since 1.5.0)
• SQLite (since 1.2.0). Implemented with annotation processor in the compile time
• Shared preferences (since 1.2.0). Implemented with annotation processor in the compile time.

Platforms

Supported platforms:

• Android 4.x+ (since 1.0.0)
• Generic Java 1.7+ platform (since 1.0.0)

###Limits### Kripton is a small and simple library. Some its limitations:

• No cyclic support: it's not possible bind object with cyclic references.
• No complex generic type was tested: for simple and quite complex generic type there should be no problems.
• In SQLite tables need to have a long primary key.
• DAO does not support inner join between table.
