## What it is
Fast Android Networking is a Java library for Android built on top of OkHttp that handles HTTP requests, file downloads and uploads, and image loading with a simple unified API. It supports HTTP/2, RxJava2, request prioritization, and cancellation while minimizing GC overhead via Okio.

## Use cases
- make http requests in android app
- download files in android
- upload files from android
- load image from url into imageview
- android networking library with rxjava support
- http/2 client for android
- cancel or prioritize network requests on android

## When to choose
- you need a single Android library covering requests, downloads, uploads, and image loading
- you want RxJava2 integration for reactive networking
- you want HTTP/2 support with low GC overhead on Android

## When to avoid
- you prefer Kotlin-first coroutine-based networking like Retrofit or Ktor
- you need a cross-platform or non-Android HTTP client
- you want a library with frequent updates and large active community

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: http-client, file-upload, image-processing
- domain: mobile-development, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: jvm
- tags: okhttp, rxjava2, http2, download-manager, networking-library, file-download, android
