Steps to Integrate Retrofit 1.9 in our Android Studio Project. You can see the difference in performance that for one discussion means for one network request and response they will take how much time. Here is the main difference between our three mainly used techniques for implementing API’s is our android app. Performance benchmarks for Android AsyncTask, Volley and Retrofit (in milliseconds, lower value is better): What we need to do is define a POJO (Plain Old Java Object) to parse the response. It used GSON library in the background to parser the response data. In Android, retrofit library is different from other network libraries because it gives us an easy to use platform through which we don’t need to parse JSON responses as they are done by library itself. Retrofit is better alternative of other libraries in terms of performance, ease of use, extensibility and others.ĭifference Between Retrofit and other libraries: In our previous article we use Volley library for network transactions but Retrofit is an ultimate replacement of Volley and all other libraries.

We have a lot of network libraries that used to fetch and send the data from/to server.
