Description

Will be very great if you will add a support for WebP format. Witch includes loading WebP images and playing the animations.. Like the Fresco library does.

To add support of loading images shouldn't be hard.. the challenge is to add animation playing support.

Tnx.

Research direction
Investigate WebP decoding and animation support in Android. Look at Fresco's implementation for reference. Check if Android's native WebP support has evolved since the issue was opened. Explore integrating a library like libwebp or using Android's ImageDecoder. Consider contributing to Glide's existing bitmap decoding pipeline.
