Magellan vs Jetpack Navigation Safeargs

Hi Magellan folks!

Would you be willing to contrast Magellan with Jetpack Navigation + SafeArgs?

  • e.g. a team is considering Jetpack Navigation, Magellan, or other OSS libraries for a greenfield project or a rewrite
  • It seems like Magellan journeys are similar to jetpack graphs
    • Maybe I am misunderstanding nuance?
  • It seems like both allow typed arguments & extracting navigation from views
  • With Jetpack I can use the safeargs compiler plugin for sublime build speeds
  • Potentially Magellan allows more abstraction (navigator.goTo) than Jetpack navigation (NavController.navigate(someTypedAction)

Would you folks document the differences in your wiki, "Why Would I Use Magellan"?

Hey @adellhk, thanks for reaching out! That's a fantastic question. Either I or @cmathew will put a wiki page together soon and follow up here when it's done. :)
