What is Jetpack?

What is androidx?

Artifacts within the androidx package comprise the libraries of Android Jetpack.

Libraries in the androidx package provide functionality that extends the capabilities of the Android platform. These libraries, which ship separately from the Android OS, focus on improving the experience of developing apps through broad OS- and device-level compatibility, high-level abstractions to simplify and unify platform features, and other new features that target developer pain points.
