RxJava_Retrofit_Network_Call

Sample project using weather api to get weather report (MVC, Rxjava 2, Retrofit 2)

Overview

• Retrofit is a type-safe REST client for Android, Java and Kotlin developed by Square. The library provides a powerful framework for authenticating and interacting with APIs and sending network requests with OkHttp

• This library makes downloading JSON or XML data from a web API fairly straightforward. Once the data is downloaded then it is parsed into a Plain Old Java Object (POJO) which must be defined for each "resource" in the response
