Overview
A cache store-agnostic HTTP client implementation that uses Hive for persistent storage, enabling efficient caching of HTTP responses. It integrates with the http_cache package to provide transparent request/response caching without requiring changes to existing HTTP logic. Ideal for apps needing offline support or reduced network usage, it supports multiple platforms including mobile, web, and desktop. The solution is lightweight and designed for seamless integration into Flutter projects.
