A Kotlin multiplatform library providing a Result monad for modelling success or failure operations without exceptions. It supports Ok/Err types, railway-oriented programming, and coroutine extensions across JVM, JS, Native, and WASM targets.

Use cases

  • model success or failure of operations in kotlin without exceptions
  • replace try-catch with explicit error handling in kotlin
  • implement railway oriented programming in kotlin
  • share error-handling logic across jvm ios and js with kotlin multiplatform
  • wrap throwing code into a result type
  • convert nullable values into typed errors

When to choose

  • you write kotlin multiplatform code and want idiomatic typed error handling
  • you prefer functional programming style with explicit happy and unhappy paths
  • you need a lightweight, well-maintained result type with coroutine support

When to avoid

  • your codebase relies on exception-based error handling conventions
  • you are not using kotlin
  • you need a full functional programming toolkit rather than just a Result type
