Very clear, to-the-point and succinct explanations. you ought to start classes locally. Thank you very much.

How does it different from FeignClient which comes with Spring Cloud project?

[@DefogTech]

Not much different. RestTemplate of Spring also can achieve similar things.

How will we implement retry and timeout in retrofit

[@SaraSociales]

great!

[@sharanyarai378]

Thanks for the tutorial. Why should i go for this when rest template can do the same ? Pls clarify

[@DefogTech]

Good question. I haven't used rest template much so cannot say authoritatively.. but retrofit is most popular Android http library out there, and I am sure it has more features than rest template of spring

[@letsengineer367]

RestTemplate is a good option to make an API call. We can also use Feign client to make HTTP calls, which is essentially an interface based approach and Spring would provide an implementation for the interface. We can also define our custom load-balancing mechanism to make such calls (In which case it is recommended to use a discovery server).

[@Brajgamer]

This also supports completablefuture out of the box

[@samboy05]

How is performance as compared to RestTemplate ?

[@DefogTech]

Haven't checked but I'm positive it will be comparable. One thing spring template doesn't have it's asynchronous call.. for that you have to use new web client of spring 5.0

[@piece_of_me]

Are those slides available somewhere?

[@amgedalyemny6594]

Could you give as this as kotlin

How it is different from sleuth?

[@DefogTech]

Sleuth is for distributed tracing isn't it? Retrofit is a simple http client
