Migrating from Autovalue to Kotlin Data Classes

on YouTube ↗32m

" summary

Migrating 46 AutoValue classes to Kotlin data classes removes AutoValue and its plugins, reduces boilerplate, and replaces four dependencies while adding one (removed 4 dependencies, added JSON value). An IntelliJ/Android Studio refactoring plugin automates conversion and renames Java/Kotlin call sites, preserving Java-friendly with/create helpers. Clean builds run more than a minute faster and incremental edits improve, APK size stays unchanged, startup time edges up slightly, and Kotlinx.serialization is initially three times slower but after optimizations is now comparable to GSON/Moshi.
