What’s the difference between KMP, KMM, and CMP? 🔍

There are a lot of abbreviations being thrown around right now in regard to KMP. Let’s clear them up:

1️⃣ KMP - Kotlin Multiplatform 🌐. This is the umbrella term that includes everything basically. With KMP, you can build for Web, Mobile, and Desktop.

2️⃣ KMM - Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile📱.This framework is part of KMP but focuses specifically on the mobile side.

Both KMM and KMP have shared logic written in Kotlin, but UI is written separately for each platform.

3️⃣ CMP - Compose Multiplatform✨. Coming from the one and only Jetpack Compose UI framework. Think of this as KMM + Compose.

The beauty of CMP is that it allows you to write both the logic AND the UI with a single codebase.
