Overview and Structure
Components
For a quick overview of Texture’s components, please see the Getting Started Guide.
Framework dependencies:
At its core, Texture doesn’t depend on any non-system frameworks or libraries. Functionalities such as image downloading and caching, video, map and photo assets supports are considered add-ons and extensible by end-users. By default Texture includes first-class support for image downloading and caching by integrating PINRemoteImage as well as default implementations for other functionalities mentioned above.
