Retrofit is a popular open-source HTTP client library for Android and Java applications, developed by Square, that simplifies making REST API calls by turning HTTP endpoints into simple Java/Kotlin interface methods. It handles request building, response parsing (often via Gson or Moshi for JSON), and integrates with libraries like OkHttp and RxJava. Android developers commonly use Retrofit to communicate with backend web services in mobile apps.
