Android SDK vs Mojolicious: What are the differences?
What is Android SDK? 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.
What is Mojolicious? Perl real-time web framework. Back in the early days of the web, many people learned Perl because of a wonderful Perl library called CGI. It was simple enough to get started without knowing much about the language and powerful enough to keep you going, learning by doing was much fun. While most of the techniques used are outdated now, the idea behind it is not. Mojolicious is a new attempt at implementing this idea using state of the art technology.
Android SDK and Mojolicious can be primarily classified as "Frameworks (Full Stack)" tools.
"Android development" is the top reason why over 280 developers like Android SDK, while over 13 developers mention "Open source" as the leading cause for choosing Mojolicious.
Mojolicious is an open source tool with 2.12K GitHub stars and 498 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Mojolicious's open source repository on GitHub.
Google, Instacart, and Slack are some of the popular companies that use Android SDK, whereas Mojolicious is used by WebbyLab, Binary.com, and OANDA. Android SDK has a broader approval, being mentioned in 1083 company stacks & 905 developers stacks; compared to Mojolicious, which is listed in 9 company stacks and 3 developer stacks.
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.
