KOTypes

KOTypes is a Kotlin library that provides a set of utility classes and functions for handling various data types and common programming patterns. Its primary goal is to simplify development by offering robust and idiomatic solutions for tasks that might otherwise require more boilerplate code.

One of the key features of KOTypes is its enhanced support for nullability. It introduces types that explicitly represent the possibility or absence of a value, aiding in the prevention of null pointer exceptions, a common issue in many programming languages. This is achieved through various wrapper classes and extension functions that allow for safer and more expressive handling of nullable data.

The library also includes utilities for working with collections and sequences. These often provide more efficient or convenient ways to perform operations such as filtering, mapping, and transforming data structures. KOTypes aims to leverage Kotlin's functional programming features to make these operations concise and readable.

Furthermore, KOTypes offers abstractions for common functional programming concepts like `Option` (similar to Java's `Optional`) and `Either`. These types help in representing computations that may fail or return different results, promoting a more robust and declarative style of programming. The library is designed to be interoperable with standard Java libraries and idiomatic Kotlin code.
