Android SDK vs Hoodie: What are the differences?

Developers describe Android SDK as "An SDK that provides you the API libraries and developer tools necessary to build, test, and debug apps for Android". Android provides a rich application framework that allows you to build innovative apps and games for mobile devices in a Java language environment. On the other hand, Hoodie is detailed as "A fast offline-first architecture for webapps. Super-simple user management & storage. Great for mobile". We want to enable you to build complete web apps in days, without having to worry about backends, databases or servers, all with an open source library that's as simple to use as jQuery.

Android SDK and Hoodie belong to "Frameworks (Full Stack)" category of the tech stack.

"Android development" is the top reason why over 280 developers like Android SDK, while over 3 developers mention "JSON" as the leading cause for choosing Hoodie.

Hoodie is an open source tool with 3.51K GitHub stars and 314 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Hoodie's open source repository on GitHub.

We actually initially wrote a lot of networking code in Kotlin but the complexities involved prompted us to try and compile NodeJS for Android and port over all the networking logic to Node and communicate with node over the Java Native Interface.

This turned out to be a great decision considering our battery usage fell by 40% and rate of development increased by a factor of 2.
