coil

Coil is an image loading library for Android and Compose Multiplatform. Its name is an acronym for Coroutine Image Loader, reflecting its Kotlin-first design built on Kotlin, Coroutines, and Okio. Key characteristics described by the project: - Fast: performs optimizations such as memory and disk caching, image downsampling, and automatically pausing or cancelling requests. - Lightweight: depends only on Kotlin, Coroutines, and Okio, and works with Google's R8 code shrinker. - Easy to use: the API uses Kotlin language features to reduce boilerplate. - Modern: interoperates with Compose, Coroutines, Okio, OkHttp, and Ktor. Quick start: add the Compose artifact and a networking artifact, for example io.coil-kt.coil3:coil-compose and io.coil-kt.coil3:coil-network-okhttp, then load an image with the AsyncImage composable by passing a model such as a URL and a content description.
