Pearl is a powerful image caching and loading library. Developers can even save JSON data in the form of objects and can retrieve them later on if they want to display content in offline mode.
Pearl uses concepts of Google's volley project and some of it's own image optimization algorithms to display the most vibrant and pixel rich image. It's light, cleaner and is maintained by the open source community itself.
