#Libraries

This is a collection of libraries that we use. If you have a certain use-case, first look here if a library was already chosen for it, as we do not want to duplicate libraries (= no multiple JSON libraries, etc.).

#New libraries

When choosing new libraries, consult with the team or check that:

• it is maintained
• it supports Kotlin Multiplatform when your module has to support Kotlin Multiplatform
• it or its dependencies have no open security vulnerabilities (IntelliJ will warn you in the Gradle file)
