The End of LiveData?!?
LiveData has been around for a few years as the official Google reactive API solution.
Nowadays, LiveData is still the official Google reactive API solution… for Java.
For Kotlin developers, Google is starting to steer you towards StateFlow. StateFlow is very similar to LiveData, but it is more tightly tied into the world of coroutines. It offers greater power and flexibility, but it is only practical for use in Kotlin projects.
We will see StateFlow — and a similar construct, SharedFlow — later in the book.
