Package protected alternative in Kotlin

by

Kotlin, compared to Java, seems to rely on packages model to a lesser degree (e.g. directories structure is not bound to packages). Instead, Kotlin offers internal visibility, which is designed for modular project architecture. Using it, you can encapsulate a part of your code inside a separate module.

So, on top level declarations you can use

  • private to restrict visibility to the file
  • internal to restrict visibility to the module

At this point, there is no other option for visibility restriction.
