Retrofit JSONAPI converter needed?

Is there some way to use the JSONAPI spec with Retrofit?, don't know how this will work or how to start, any help?.

I found this gist: https://gist.github.com/Gregadeaux/cbcc3781fda9d7fa6498, it uses RxJava and some other libraries.

Also, is a converter needed?.

Thank you.

Solution

  • https://github.com/jasminb/jsonapi-converter is what you're looking for

    from the docs 

    // Create object mapper
ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();

// Set serialisation/deserialisation options if needed (property naming strategy, etc...)

Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
        .baseUrl("https://yourapi")
        .addConverterFactory(new JSONAPIConverterFactory(objectMapper, Book.class, Author.class))
        .build();

// Create service using service interface
MyBooksService booksService = retrofit.create(MyBooksService.class);
