| 4 | |
| 5 | Artifacts within the `androidx` package comprise the libraries of |
| 6 | [Android Jetpack](https://developer.android.com/jetpack). |
| 7 | |
| 8 | Libraries in the `androidx` package provide functionality that extends the |
| 9 | capabilities of the Android platform. These libraries, which ship separately |
| 10 | from the Android OS, focus on improving the experience of developing apps |
| 11 | through broad OS- and device-level compatibility, high-level abstractions to |
| 12 | simplify and unify platform features, and other new features that target |
| 13 | developer pain points. |
