This library provides an async image downloader with cache support. For convenience, we added categories for UI elements like UIImageView, UIButton, MKAnnotationView. SD is the prefix for Simple Design (which is the team name in Daily Motion company from the author Olivier Poitrey) Image formats supported by Apple system (JPEG, PNG, TIFF, BMP, ...), including GIF/APNG animated image. In order to keep SDWebImage focused and limited to the core features, but also allow extensibility and custom behaviors, during the 5.0 refactoring we focused on modularizing the library. SwiftUI is an innovative UI framework written in Swift to build user interfaces across all Apple platforms. We support SwiftUI by building a brand new framework called SDWebImageSwiftUI, which is built on top of SDWebImage core functions (caching, loading and animation).
Features
- Categories for UIImageView, UIButton, MKAnnotationView adding web image and cache management
- An asynchronous image downloader
- An asynchronous memory + disk image caching with automatic cache expiration handling
- A background image decompression to avoid frame rate drop
- Progressive image loading (including animated image, like GIF showing in Web browser)
- Thumbnail image decoding to save CPU && Memory for large images
