## What it is
KTVHTTPCache is an Objective-C HTTP caching framework for iOS that caches multimedia resources by acting as a local proxy server, enabling play, download, and cache simultaneously. It supports HLS, preloading, URL mapping, and works with AVPlayer or FFmpeg-based players without coupling to any specific player.

## Use cases
- cache streaming video while playing in an iOS app
- enable offline playback of media already watched
- reduce network usage when seeking back in a video
- cache HLS m3u8 streams locally
- preload video segments before playback starts
- cache audio files for a music player app
- share a global cache across downloads of the same URL

## When to choose
- you build an iOS media player and want play-while-caching
- you need HLS support with local proxy caching
- you want a player-agnostic cache layer for AVPlayer or FFmpeg players
- you need slice-based caching to minimize network requests

## When to avoid
- you need caching on Android or cross-platform (use AndroidVideoCache or similar)
- your app targets platforms other than Apple/iOS
- you need a general-purpose HTTP cache for a web backend rather than a mobile client
