What is Retrofit?

Retrofit is a type-safe REST client for Android and Java developed by Square. It simplifies the process of making network requests by turning HTTP APIs into Java interfaces. You define the API endpoints as methods in an interface, and Retrofit automatically generates the implementation to handle the network calls, serialization of requests, and deserialization of responses. It's commonly used to fetch data from RESTful APIs in Android and Java applications.
