RxHttp is a type-safe HTTP request library for Android built on top of OkHttp, supporting Kotlin Coroutines, RxJava2, and RxJava3. It offers a minimal-learning-curve fluent API for requests, file upload/download with progress, and global encryption, common headers, and caching configuration.

Use cases

• make http requests in android with kotlin coroutines
• upload and download files with progress tracking in android
• simplify okhttp usage with a fluent api
• handle multiple or dynamic base urls in an android app
• add global request encryption and common headers
• auto-cancel requests when activity or fragment is destroyed
• parse responses with gson, xml, protobuf, or fastjson

When to choose

• you want a near-zero learning curve alternative to retrofit for android networking
• you need coroutine, flow, or rxjava integration over okhttp
• you need elegant file upload/download with progress and resumable downloads
• you want per-request or global encryption, common params, and caching

When to avoid

• you prefer the industry-standard, annotation-driven retrofit ecosystem
• you are building a non-Android JVM or multiplatform project
• you need a smaller dependency footprint than okhttp plus code generation
