Kotlin Symbol Processing API

Welcome to KSP!

Kotlin Symbol Processing (KSP) is an API that you can use to develop lightweight compiler plugins. KSP provides a simplified compiler plugin API that leverages the power of Kotlin while keeping the learning curve at a minimum. Compared to KAPT, annotation processors that use KSP can run up to 2x faster.

Most of the documentation of KSP can be found on kotlinlang.org. Here are some handy links:

For debugging and testing processors, as well as KSP itself, please check DEVELOPMENT.md

KSP2 is in Beta!

KSP2 is a new implementation of the KSP API. It will be faster and easier to use than KSP 1.x. Please refer to the KSP2 introduction for more details.
