Meet Retrofit2

In this post I will introduce to you a recently released version of a well known library for consuming RESTful services — Retrofit2. Even though it is mainly targeted at Android platform it works very well on the “server” Java. Its lightness and low garbage generation overhead make it an interesting option if one does not like existing solutions (like Jersey Client, or Spring’s RestTemplate). I will also show how to configure it properly and fully utilize its great RxJava compatibility.
