A library to allow seamless integration between Kotlin/Native and Kotlin/JVM. This can also be used as part of a KMP project to delegate JVM functionality to native implementations.
In Kotlin Native you can easily write stub classes to access JVM objects using Ouroboros:
import io.karma.ouroboros.BridgedType
import io.karma.ouroboros.Bridged
@BridgedType("com.foo.SomeJavaClass")
class SomeJavaClass {
// This will invoke com.foo.SomeJavaClass#myFunction on the JVM object if called
@Bridged
external fun myFunction(i: i32, s: String): String
}The same is also possible the other way around:
import io.karma.ouroboros.BridgedType
import io.karma.ouroboros.Bridged
@BridgedType("com.foo.SomeNativeClass")
class SomeNativeClass {
// This will invoke the native com.foo.SomeNativeClass#myFunction if called
@Bridged
external fun myFunction(i: i32, s: String): String
}The ouroboros or uroboros (/ˌjʊərəˈbɒrəs/;[2] /ˌʊərəˈbɒrəs/[3]) is an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon[4] eating its own tail.
The name was chosen because of the fact that this is a project to add interoperability between
Kotlin (Native)
and Kotlin (JVM) using only Kotlin. It's like the Ouroboros trying to eat its own tail.
