# Asset The `asset` module provides a cross platform way to read assets, without cluttering the user code with comptime conditionals, like `$if ios {` or `$if android {` etc. Currently it supports Android assets, and desktop applications, that do not use archived/zipped files, but could be extended to support archived files too in the future. It relies on the assumption that each platform has a way to either read files, relative to the location of the executable, or a platform specific way, to package all asset files into the application archive/package/executable, that is then distributed to the end users.
