## What it is
Store is a Java/Android library for reactive async data loading and caching, implementing the Repository pattern with an RxJava API. It manages fetching, parsing, and two-layer (memory and disk) caching of data with request throttling.

## Use cases
- cache network responses on android
- offline-first data loading in android app
- avoid duplicate network requests with request throttling
- reactive data layer with rxjava
- in-memory and disk caching for android

## When to choose
- building an Android app with RxJava that needs offline support
- you want a Repository-pattern abstraction over network and cache

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - use the maintained dropbox/Store fork instead
- your project uses Kotlin coroutines/Flow rather than RxJava

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: caching, http-client
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools
- platform: jvm
- tags: rxjava, repository-pattern, offline-first, data-loading, deprecated, android, mobile
