Architecture The Marvel Character App is built using Kotlin and follows the MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) architecture pattern. The key components of the architecture are:

Model: Handles the data and business logic. Manages communication with the network and local database.

View: Represents the UI elements. Observes ViewModel's LiveData and reacts to data changes.

ViewModel: Manages UI-related data and communicates with the Model. Provides data to the View using LiveData.

The app's data flow involves fetching character data from the Marvel API using Retrofit, storing the data in the Room Database, and then displaying it in the UI using RecyclerView and LiveData.

Libraries Used Retrofit: A type-safe HTTP client for making network requests.

Room Database: A robust and flexible local storage solution for caching data.

ViewModel: Manages UI-related data and handles configuration changes.

LiveData: Provides an observable data holder that updates the UI when data changes.

Glide: A fast and efficient image loading library for Android.

RecyclerView: A powerful UI component for displaying lists and grids.
