In this article we will be talking about Realm with Jetpack Compose. Realm is a popular database library for managing local database in a mobile application (same as Room DB).

It uses Mongo as a query language.

Basically it is a ORM (Object Relation Mapping) , that provides some helper functions for the CRUD (Create , Read , Update , Delete) operations. Now you don’t need to write queries , we only use that helper functions for the queries.

So we are going to make a very simple application for better understanding. We will create a Note application , where we perform Add , Show , Delete and Update notes . Alright !!
