JetBrains has released Ktor 3.2.0, an update to the Kotlin-based framework for building asynchronous applications that brings modules for dependency injection and HTMX and automatic deserialization of configuration files into data classes, among other new capabilities.
Unveiled June 19, Ktor 3.2.0 also offers tools updates and performance improvements for different platforms. Instructions for getting started with Ktor can be found at ktor.io.
A dependency injection (DI) module featured in Ktor 3.2.0, while optional, allows Ktor to offer additional functionality out of the box for dependency injection users. Ktor DI is built on top of coroutines, which allow for the concurrent initialization of an application. Easy integration with existing DI frameworks is enabled by Ktor DI, according to JetBrains. Also, Ktor DI automatically closes AutoCloseable instances or allows for developers to configure their own cleanup handlers.
