What is LiveData?

LiveData is an observable data holder class in Android's Architecture Components. It's lifecycle-aware, meaning it only updates app component observers that are in an active lifecycle state. This prevents crashes due to updating inactive UI components and simplifies data synchronization between app components. Commonly used to observe data changes in a database or network response and update the UI accordingly.
