Concept of Flow in Kotlin | TO THE NEW Blog

▤ Summary

Coroutine has introduced Flow API to handle a stream of data that emits values sequentially. Sometimes the data source will act as the producer, so the flow builder is executed within the coroutine and thus will be benefited from the same asynchronous APIs, but some restrictions should be applied. The producer suspends until the network requests are complete, so the result is emitted to the stream. Also, sometimes using the flow builder, the producer cannot emit the values from the different Coroutine contexts. This blog taught what is so special about Kotlin Flow and how it differs from existing solutions.
