At this moment, React Native does not support `Blob` object yet, so if you're going to send/receive binary data via `fetch` API, that might not work as you expect. See [[fetch] Does fetch with blob() marshal data across the bridge?](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/854).

Hence you may getting into trouble in some use cases. For example, displaying an image on image server but the server requires a specific field(such as "Authorization") in headers or body, so you can't just pass the image uri to `Image` component because that will probably returns a 401 response. With help of this module, you can send a HTTP request with any headers, and decide how to handle the response/reqeust data. The response data can be just simply converted into BASE64 string, or store to a file directly so that you can read it by file stream or use it's path.

For some uses cases, you might get into trouble. For example, displaying an image that requires a specific field in headers (ex. "Authorization : Bearer ...") or body, so you can't just pass the image uri to `Image` component because that will probably returns a 401 response. Or you're going to upload binary data which generated from JS, the server will get an empry body due to [this issue](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/854). With help of this APIs provides by this module, you can send HTTP request with any headers, and decide how to handle the response/reqeust data without worry about if it is not supported by `fetch` API. The response data can be just simply converted into BASE64 string, or store to a file directly so that you can read it by file access APIs such as readFile, readStream.

This module is designed to be a substitution of `blob`, there's a set of file access API including basic CRUD method, and file stream reader/writer. Also it has a special `fetch` implementation that supports binary request/response body.
