## What it is
Chuck is an in-app HTTP inspector library for Android OkHttp clients. It intercepts and persists HTTP requests and responses, providing a notification and UI for inspecting and sharing their content during development.

## Use cases
- inspect HTTP requests and responses in an Android app
- debug OkHttp network traffic on device
- view API request and response bodies while developing an Android app
- share captured HTTP interactions for debugging
- monitor network activity via a notification during development

## When to choose
- you build Android apps with OkHttp 3.x and need on-device HTTP traffic inspection
- you want a Chucker-like debug inspector without leaving the app
- you need to capture and share request/response payloads during development

## When to avoid
- you need inspection in production or release builds
- your project does not use OkHttp
- you need a actively developed tool - the project has not been updated since late 2021 and Chucker is a maintained fork
