Asynchronous Volley - Production Ready ?

Hi, is CronethttpStack production ready or is it still in the experimental face?

Hi,

It has been in use in one Google-maintained app for the last couple of years without known issues. I'm not sure whether external apps have been using it externally - would be interested in hearing the experience from any apps that have. So while it is stable for at least some use cases, I'm not aware of wide-enough usage to be confident that it is production ready for all scenarios.

I would mostly consider using it only if you have an existing, large app that has already integrated with Volley and are interested in improving the threading model / moving to Cronet without having to migrate the full library to something else. If you are writing a new app, you would probably be better off with a newer framework that is seeing more active development. I'm not familiar enough with other libraries to make a strong recommendation, but I am aware that apps have been using Retrofit, ktor (for Kotlin), or Cronet directly and have generally been happy with the results. Or, if you own both the client and server, a higher-level framework like gRPC might be a good choice. We continue to make bug fixes to Volley on an as-needed basis, but are no longer generally developing large features.

Thanks,

Jeff

Thanks for your response. I'll keep in mind the information you provided and explore other frameworks as well. Appreciate your help.
