Answer from AI
In Retrofit, the main annotations for defining HTTP requests include:
@GET— for GET requests, used to retrieve data.@POST— for POST requests, typically to send data to the server.@PUT— for PUT requests, often to update data.@DELETE— for DELETE requests, to delete resources.@PATCH— for partial updates of a resource.
Additional annotations for parameters:
@Path— inserts a value into the URL path.@Query— adds a parameter to the query string.@Body— passes an object in the request body.@Header— adds an HTTP header.@Field— for sending form data (with@FormUrlEncoded).@Part— for sending parts of a multipart request (with@Multipart).
Example:
@GET("users/{id}")
Call<User> getUser(@Path("id") int userId, @Query("details") boolean details);
@POST("users/new")
Call<ResponseBody> createUser(@Body User user);
