Why not enhance existing solutions?

Often only C/C++ solutions like OSRM are fast and memory efficient
Java solutions then are not free like osm2po or to heavy weight e.g. the Spring&Hibernate based OpenTripPlanner project.

GraphHopper instead

is solid as it is based on several unit tests
it should be simple to use and integrate
fast and memory efficient => being able to run on Android
only a few dependencies => < 5MB
it is business friendly via Apache License 2.0
