Volley: Easy, Fast Networking for Android
summary
Volley is an Android networking library that claims easier and measurably faster app networking: Play Store apps use it, the Google I/O app port takes about half a day, and a Google+ benchmark shows Volley beating others (sometimes up to 10x). It provides default 4 threads with request prioritization, transparent disk and memory caching with millisecond cache hits for 10–50KB images, request cancellation scopes, response batching for synchronized UI fades, easy image helpers like NetworkImageView, GSON/JSON support, and is not meant for large streaming downloads.
