Android: Embedded Server with Ktor

Create asynchronous client and server applications. Anything from microservices to multiplatform HTTP client apps in a simple way. Open Source, free, and fun!

Why?

There are several reasons why embedding a server within an Android application might be beneficial:

1. Offline Access: By embedding a server within the application, you can provide offline access to certain features or content. The server can serve pre-cached data or generate dynamic content even when the device is not connected to the internet.
2. Local Communication: An embedded server can facilitate communication between different components or modules within the same application or between different applications running on the same device. This can be useful for implementing inter-process communication (IPC) or for creating a local API for controlling the application.
3. Reduced Latency: Serving content locally from the device can reduce latency compared to fetching it from a remote server over the internet. This can result in faster response times and a better user experience, especially for applications that require real-time interaction or frequent updates.
4. Privacy and Security: Keeping data and communication local to the device can enhance privacy and security by reducing the exposure of…
