AndroidAsync is a low-level asynchronous network protocol library for Android built on Java NIO, providing socket client/server, HTTP(S) client/server, and WebSocket client/server in a single-threaded, callback-driven model. It is the foundation for the higher-level Ion HTTP request library.

Use cases

• make async http requests from android apps
• run an embedded http server on android
• implement websocket client and server communication on android
• handle raw tcp socket connections asynchronously
• download urls to strings, , or files with cancellable futures

When to choose

• you need low-level socket, http, or websocket control on android without thread overhead
• you want a nio-based, single-threaded callback-driven networking stack
• you are building a higher-level networking library on android

When to avoid

• you just want an easy high-level http request library - use Ion instead
• you need a general-purpose networking library outside android
• you prefer coroutine or rxjava-style async APIs over callbacks
