Features

Obviously Kripton library has different features and many limitations. In next releases, i will try to reduce limits, but some of them will be never removed.

##Features## Kritpon is composed by two runtime-libraries 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.
• 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 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.
