## What it is
URLImage is a lightweight, pure SwiftUI view that downloads and displays images from URLs, with in-memory and on-disk caching. It serves as an AsyncImage replacement for iOS versions before 15, with customizable placeholder, progress, and error states.

## Use cases
- display remote images in a SwiftUI app
- AsyncImage replacement for iOS 13 and 14
- cache downloaded images locally on disk and memory
- show placeholder and progress while an image loads
- load images in an iOS 14 widget

## When to choose
- your SwiftUI app targets iOS versions before 15 and needs remote images
- you want built-in memory and disk caching with customizable loading states
- you prefer a small, pure-SwiftUI dependency installed via Swift Package Manager

## When to avoid
- you target iOS 15+ and can use the native AsyncImage
- you need advanced features like image transformations or a full networking stack
- the project is in maintenance mode and you need actively developed features
