Retrofit 2.0.0 is now released! Retrofit 2 is a major release focused on extensibility. The API changes are numerous but solve shortcomings of the previous version and provide a path for future enhancement. What's new?

Every awesome app communicates with a server. That's what makes the app more dynamic and fun. If you want to achieve that, we have the best tool called Retrofit. It allows you make a lot of sever-client work with no necessity know how it works. You'll use annotations to describe HTTP requests, URL parameter replacement and query parameter support is integrated by default. Also, it provides functionality for multipart request body and file uploads.
