Android - Http library retrofit vs okhttp3

Question

I wish to create an api for http requests on android. I used volley before, but it causes some problems about headers. It removes content-length from headers. It doesn't fit http standardization.

So I wish to try another library. Many users suggest Retrofit. But retrofit requires a model. In my case the model is not defined. Because I expect url, body, headers and method. I don't know the data. Retrofit is not a good choice for me. Am I right?

I think I should use okhttp3.

Volley adds extra headers

Answer 1

Yes, good choice. Go with okhttp3 library, I am using this library for past a year now. As you said it doesn't require any models and in addition to that it have regular updation, bug fix upgrades available... 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Got for it.
