ImageLoader

interface ImageLoader

A service class that loads images by executing ImageRequests. Image loaders handle caching, data fetching, image decoding, request management, bitmap pooling, memory management, and more.

Image loaders are designed to be shareable and work best when you create a single instance and share it throughout your app.
