What libraries for dependency injection do you use in your projects — Dagger or Koin?

In Android projects, I most commonly use Dagger and Koin for dependency injection, depending on the team’s requirements and preferences.
-
Dagger is a static, compile-time DI framework that provides high performance and strict type safety. It requires annotations and code generation, which can complicate initial setup but offers advantages in performance and security.
-
Koin is a simpler and lightweight DI framework written in Kotlin, which does not require code generation and uses DSL for dependency declaration. It is easier to learn and quicker to set up but may be less performant than Dagger.
The choice depends on the project size, performance requirements, and team preferences. For small projects and rapid prototyping, I often choose Koin; for large, performance-critical projects, Dagger is preferred.
