Information about powerPoint ==> In Weaknesses part, there is "JSON only". According http://square.github.io/retrofit/

CONTENT FORMAT AGNOSTIC

In addition to JSON, Retrofit can be configured to use other content formats. Retrofit provides alternate converters for XML (using Simple) and Protocol Buffers (using protobuf or Wire). Please see the retrofit-converters directory for the full listing of converters.

The following code shows how to use SimpleXMLConverter to communicate with an API that uses XML

For me, the github.io of retrofit is pretty cool ...

Retrofit is great because it handles all the background threading for you. Its faster than Volley too. Once you get the hang of it Retrofit is quite easy to use and is very robust. http://instructure.github.io/blog/2013/12/09/volley-vs-retrofit/

Created a stub here. Still would love to see this guide materialize if @mitchross and/or others want to take the lead drafting it up.

I just was spreading the word of what you guys created here! Great stuff. I wouldn't mind helping out with a retrofit tutorial. I would think it would be great to include all examples of callbacks and include gson object parsing.

Looks like @mitchross put together a first version here which looks pretty good. Just wanted to update this issue.
