Research on switching from retrofit to hapi android client #384

jingtang10 commented 3 years ago

This R&D project will aim to evaluate the current communication with FHIR server approach (using retrofit) with the HAPI-FHIR-Android client.

This would involve developing a new version of the reference app to use the hapi-fhir client and then running a series of comparisons between the two.

Outcome will be a determination of which approach we should adopt.

An objective comparison - pros and cons of each - would be helpful.

E.g.

Retrofit hapi-fhir-android
Commonly used android lib hence easy to develop Smaller community
Size cost xx mb Size cost yy mb
Baseline x% faster/slower per request than baseline
Minimal overhead for supporting FHIR Resources Works natiely with FHIR Resources
