Moshi is based on Gson, but differentiates itself with some simplifications. It’s created by the developers of Retrofit. You can add it with: compile '2:converter-jackson:2.5.0' The setup offers you a lot more customization and might be worth a look. Jackson is an alternative to Gson and claims to be faster in mapping JSON data. You’ll need the following line for your adle: compile '2:converter-simplexml:2.5.0' Gson is for JSON mapping and can be added with the following dependency: compile '2:converter-gson:2.5.0'
The retrofit-converters directory lists all official response converter implementations: We can’t go through every single one of them, so we just give you an overview. Since there are so many formats and libraries to support them, the Retrofit creators provide a list of converters.
Converters can support two directions here: from Java object to standard format (requests) and vice versa: from the standard format to Java objects (responses).
In Retrofit 2, this task of mapping between Java objects and the standard format is done by converters. What all formats have in common is that you need to map Java objects into the standard format. Over the years developers have introduced various formats with each their own purpose, advantages and disadvantages. In order to make the communication work between the Android client and the server, they need to agree on a common data representation format.
