The Kotlin standard library

The Kotlin standard library (stdlib) is a very small library that is distributed together with Kotlin. It is required to run applications written in Kotlin and it is added automatically to our application during the build process.

In Kotlin 1.1, kotlin-runtime was required to run applications written in Kotlin. In fact, in Kotlin 1.1 there were two artifacts ( kotlin-runtime and kotlin-stdlib) that shared a lot of Kotlin packages. To reduce the amount of confusion, both the artifacts will be merged into a single artifact ( kotlin-stdlib) in the upcoming 1.2 version of Kotlin. Starting from Kotlin 1.2, kotlin-stdlib is required to run applications written in Kotlin.

The Kotlin standard library provides essential elements required for everyday work with Kotlin. These include:

Data types such as arrays, collections, lists, ranges, and so on
Extensions
Higher-order functions
Various utilities for working with strings and char sequences
Extensions for JDK classes, making it convenient to work with files, IO, and threading
