Android Moshi: what's the development status


I remember Moshi being presented as the upgrade to (Google's) Gson for Android from the creators of Gson themselves (in Square), with better performances and better support for Kotlin.

However, the latest release is now almost a year old, and even though there is activity in the repository, Gson still seems way more active and, according to AppBrain, much more adopted by developers in new projects.

What's the real story? Can anybody shed some light on the future of the two libraries?


Solution

  • Moshi is the future. It's the only one of these two libraries with significant Kotlin features. It has active contributors and a lot of recent commits.
