Refit is an open-source library for .NET and Xamarin that streamlines REST API consumption by defining endpoints as C# interfaces. This article explains Refit's features, demonstrating its effectiveness through the implementation of a Contact API and its client. By allowing developers to eliminate manual HTTP request and response handling, Refit facilitates faster and cleaner coding for API interactions. It helps in minimizing boilerplate code, making the API development process more efficient and organized. Users are guided to set up their projects in Visual Studio 2022 to test the provided examples.
Refit transforms your REST API into manageable C# interfaces, effectively simplifying API consumption and enhancing code maintainability.
This article explores the Refit library for .NET, demonstrating how it simplifies API development through two illustrative applications.
With Refit, developers can easily define and implement API endpoints without the complexity of manual HTTP request handling.
