Handling large JSON responses in Retrofit causing OutOfMemoryError on Android 14
I'm relatively new to this, so bear with me... I'm encountering an `OutOfMemoryError` when trying to parse a large JSON response using Retrofit on Android 14. The response can be up to 50 MB, and it contains a list of objects that I need to convert into a data model. I've set up Retrofit with a Gson converter, but it seems like it's trying to load the entire JSON into memory at once, leading to the crash. My Retrofit setup looks like this: ```kotlin val retrofit = Retrofit.Builder() .baseUrl("https://api.example.com/") .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create()) .build() val apiService = retrofit.create(ApiService::class.java) ``` I've tried switching to `Streaming` mode by using `@Streaming` in my API interface method: ```kotlin @GET("large_data.json") @Streaming suspend fun fetchLargeData(): Response<ResponseBody> ``` However, I still see the memory issues when I attempt to read the response body and convert it into my data models: ```kotlin val response = apiService.fetchLargeData() if (response.isSuccessful) { val jsonStream = response.body()?.byteStream() // Here, I parse the stream into my data model } ``` I've also considered using `JsonReader` to read the stream more efficiently, but I'm not sure how to implement it properly with my existing data model. Any suggestions on how to efficiently handle large JSON responses without running into memory issues? What patterns or best practices should I follow in this case? Am I missing something obvious?
