The support library has been superseded by [AndroidX](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx) which is part of [Jetpack](https://developer.android.com/jetpack). We recommend using the AndroidX libraries in all new projects. You should also consider [migrating](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/migrate) existing projects to AndroidX.
