## What it is
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
