## What it is
aSmack is a build environment (source fetching, patching, and build scripts) for the Smack XMPP client library on Android, not a code library itself. It is deprecated and obsolete since Smack 4.1 runs on Android natively.

## Use cases
- add xmpp chat to an android app
- build smack library for android
- connect to xmpp server from android
- instant messaging client library for android
- patch smack for android compatibility

## When to choose
- you are stuck maintaining a legacy Android app that already depends on aSmack

## When to avoid
- starting any new Android XMPP project - use Smack 4.1+ directly
- you need an actively maintained library
- you are on Java SE - use upstream Smack

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: build-tool, http-client
- domain: mobile-development, developer-tools
- platform: jvm, cli
- tags: xmpp, smack, android, deprecated, build-environment, chat-protocol, messaging
