  Description     : set of low level HTTP transport components for Java

HttpCore is a set of low level HTTP transport components that can be used to
build custom client and server side HTTP services with a minimal footprint.
HttpCore supports two I/O models:
 .
  * blocking I/O model, based on the classic Java I/O;
  * non-blocking, event driven I/O model based on Java NIO.
 .
The blocking I/O model may be more appropriate for data intensive, low latency
scenarios, whereas the non-blocking model may be more appropriate for high
latency scenarios where raw data throughput is less important than the ability
to handle thousands of simultaneous HTTP connections in a resource efficient
manner.
 .
This package contains the 5.x series of httpcomponents-core.
