Jetpack Compose vs XML layouts: what are the trade-offs?

Answer

Compose is declarative and state-driven; XML is the traditional view system. Compose benefits: less boilerplate, faster UI iteration, easier theming. XML benefits: mature tooling, huge legacy ecosystem. Many teams adopt Compose gradually: new screens in Compose, existing screens in XML, with interoperability where needed.
