What is the principle of RxHttp, many novices are not very clear about this, in order to help you solve this problem, the following editor will explain for you in detail, people with this need can come to learn, I hope you can gain something.

RxHttp has been popular with Android developers since it was launched in April this year. During this period, people have been asking me, "is retrofit not delicious?" I didn't know how to answer this question before, but now I want to say, Xiang! Retrofit is undoubtedly the player with the highest overall score at present, but it also has its shortcomings.

RxHttp compared to retrofit

Compared with retrofit, RxHttp can achieve both functions without much difference. More differences reflect the use of functions, that is, ease of use. For example, in the operation of file upload / download / progress monitoring, RxHttp and simple API, it can be said that the ease of use of rolling retrofit; is better than retrofit in baseUrl, common parameters / request header, request encryption and decryption and other functions. However, I don't think it's a big deal. I think the biggest advantage of RxHttp is its near-zero operating cost, minimalist API and high scalability. I'm sure you'll feel the same way after reading this article.

So RxHttp has no shortcomings?

Yes, that is, its stability is not as good as retrofit. After all, RxHttp has only made its debut for 8 months, and I am the only one who is maintaining it. Of course, it does not mean that RxHttp is unstable. Before RxHttp is open source, it has been used in our project for nearly 2 years, and then it was opened up in April this year. So far, it has been iterated for more than 20 versions, large and small, and there are not a few people currently using it, which can be said to be very stable.

RxHttp is based on the secondary encapsulation of OkHttp, and seamlessly connects with RxJava, so that any request can be sent in one chain.

The main advantages of RxHttp are as follows:

1. Support third-party data parsing tools such as Gson, Xml, ProtoBuf, FastJson, etc.

two。 Any request method such as Get, Post, Put, Delete is supported, and the request method can be customized.

3. Support to automatically close requests in any class of Activity/Fragment/View/ViewModel/

4. Unified encryption and decryption is supported, and whether to encrypt or decrypt a single request can be set.

5. Common parameters / headers can be added, and whether to add common parameters / headers can be set for a single request

6. The most elegant implementation of file upload / download and progress monitoring in history, and supports breakpoint download

7. The most elegant unified handling of errors in history without breaking Lambda expressions

8. The most elegant handling of multiple BaseUrl and dynamic BaseUrl in history

9. The most elegant handling of web caching in history

10.30 seconds to get started, and the cost of learning is extremely low.
