MMKV is an efficient, small, easy-to-use mobile key-value storage framework used in the WeChat application. It's currently available on both iOS and Android.

• Efficient. MMKV uses mmap to keep memory synced with file, and protobuf to encode/decode values, making the most of iOS to achieve best performance.

• Easy-to-use. You can use MMKV as you go, no configurations needed. All changes are saved immediately, no synchronize calls needed.

• Small.

  • A handful of files: MMKV contains encode/decode helpers and mmap logics and nothing more. It's really tidy.
  • Less than 30K in binary size: MMKV adds less than 30K per architecture on App size, and much less when zipped (ipa).

1. Install CocoaPods;
2. Open terminal, cd to your project directory, run pod repo update to make CocoaPods aware of the latest available MMKV versions;
3. Edit your Podfile, add pod 'MMKV' to your app target;
4. Run pod install;
5. Open the .xcworkspace file generated by CocoaPods;
6. Add #import <MMKV/MMKV.h> to your source file and we are done.

For other installation options, see iOS Setup.

MMKV *mmkv = [MMKV defaultMMKV];
    
[mmkv setBool:YES forKey:@"bool"];
BOOL bValue = [mmkv getBoolForKey:@"bool"];
    
[mmkv setInt32:-1024 forKey:@"int32"];
int32_t iValue = [mmkv getInt32ForKey:@"int32"];
    
[mmkv setObject:@"hello, mmkv" forKey:@"string"];
NSString *str = [mmkv getObjectOfClass:NSString.class forKey:@"string"];

• Efficient. MMKV uses mmap to keep memory synced with file, and protobuf to encode/decode values, making the most of Android to achieve best performance.

  • Multi-Process concurrency: MMKV supports concurrent read-read and read-write access between processes.

• Easy-to-use. You can use MMKV as you go. All changes are saved immediately, no sync, no apply calls needed.

• Small.

  • A handful of files: MMKV contains process locks, encode/decode helpers and mmap logics and nothing more. It's really tidy.
  • About 60K in binary size: MMKV adds about 60K per architecture on App size, and much less when zipped (apk).

Add the following lines to build.gradle on your app module:

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.tencent:mmkv:1.0.12'
    // replace "1.0.12" with any available version
}

For other installation options, see Android Setup.

Setup MMKV on App startup, say your MainActivity, add these lines:

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    String rootDir = MMKV.initialize(this);
    System.out.println("mmkv root: " + rootDir);
    //……
}

MMKV has a global instance, that can be used directly:

import com.tencent.mmkv.MMKV;
    
MMKV kv = MMKV.defaultMMKV();

kv.encode("bool", true);
boolean bValue = kv.decodeBool("bool");

kv.encode("int", Integer.MIN_VALUE);
int iValue = kv.decodeInt("int");

kv.encode("string", "Hello from mmkv");
String str = kv.decodeString("string");

MMKV also supports Multi-Process Access. Full tutorials can be found here Android Tutorial.
