| ## What is `androidx`? |
| |
| Artifacts within the `androidx` package comprise the libraries of |
| [Android Jetpack](https://developer.android.com/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. |
