45            <h3 id="overview">Overview</h3>
46            <p>HTTP is the way modern applications network. It’s how we exchange data &amp; media.
47                Doing HTTP efficiently makes your stuff load faster and saves bandwidth.</p>
48
49            <p>OkHttp is an HTTP client that’s efficient by default:</p>
50            <ul>
51                <li>HTTP/2 and SPDY support allows all requests to the same host to share a socket.</li>
52                <li>Connection pooling reduces request latency (if SPDY isn’t available).</li>
53                <li>Transparent GZIP shrinks download sizes.</li>
54                <li>Response caching avoids the network completely for repeat requests.</li>
55            </ul>
56
57            <p>OkHttp perseveres when the network is troublesome: it will silently recover from
58                common connection problems. If your service has multiple IP addresses OkHttp will
59                attempt alternate addresses if the first connect fails. This is necessary for IPv4+IPv6
60                and for services hosted in redundant data centers. OkHttp initiates new connections
61                with modern TLS features (SNI, ALPN), and falls back to TLS 1.0 if the handshake
62                fails.</p>
63
64            <p>Using OkHttp is easy. Its 2.0 API is designed with fluent builders and
65                immutability. It supports both synchronous blocking calls and async calls with
66                callbacks.</p>
67
68            <p>You can try out OkHttp without rewriting your network code. The
69                <code>okhttp-urlconnection</code> module implements the familiar
70                <code>java.net.HttpURLConnection</code> API and the <code>okhttp-apache</code>
71                module implements the Apache <code>HttpClient</code> API.</p>
72
73            <p>OkHttp supports Android 2.3 and above. For Java, the minimum requirement is 1.7.</p>
