A few more words about this course

One of the downsides of both SharedPreferences and Preferences DataStore is that there is no way to define a schema or to ensure that keys are accessed with the correct type. To address this problem, Jetpack Datastore provides another type of storage solution which is called Proto DataStore. Proto Datastore, as the name suggests, uses Protocol buffers to define the schema. Using protos DataStore knows what types are stored and will just provide them, removing the need for using keys.
