Twitter Image Pipeline is a robust and performant image loading
The Twitter Image Pipeline is a streamlined framework for fetching and storing images in an application. The high-level concept is that all requests to fetch or store an image go through an image pipeline which encapsulates the work of checking the in-memory caches and an on disk cache before retrieving the image from over the network as well as keeping the caches both up to date and pruned.
