An endpoint proxy generator which simplifies networking on Android.

RoboZombie /rō-bō'zŏm'bē/ noun. 1 A lightweight HTTP facade which simplifies network communication. 2 An endpoint proxy generator for web services.

##About

RoboZombie allows easy integration with remote services by allowing you to replicate an endpoint contract and generate a proxy to access it.

• Contracts can be very flexible in terms of the resources they access. These could be vary from static html content or an RRS feed, to a RESTful web service endpoint.

* Each endpoint contract is specified on a single interface using annotations to provide the communication metadata. It is then wired into your code via an annotation, where it'll be created, cached and injected at runtime.

##Setup

1. For Maven Based Android Projects

Add the following dependency in your project's pom.xml.

<dependency>
   <groupId>com.lonepulse</groupId>
   <artifactId>robozombie</artifactId>
   <version>1.2.3</version>
   <type>jar</type>
</dependency>

For information on building Android projects using Maven here's Chapter 14 of Maven: The Complete Reference.

2. For Standard Android Projects

Download the RoboZombie + Gson jars and add them to your libs folder.

##Usage
