Since classes list of a wiki is very large, everytime UI fails to load.
Therefore I avoided putting it. Library works fine.

Yes library allows it. I added editing content using object selection in my
recent push. This component was developed early but have some issues. Now
it's working fine. Go to object View and select an object to edit the
content.

Sometimes I used caching but there are many places which will improve the
performance by caching. Sorry I'm little bit busy these days and couldn't
find time to do that. I will surely improve caching later.

Since you are not advised me to look into https I didn't setup https classes
yet. But https is possilbe in Android development.

I think there is no time left to work in GSOC. But I like to contribute
XWiki Android continuously. I'll get more free time after my internship
ends( will take another three/four weeks). Then I'll work on this.

I'll give a demo using one.

As you said I
renamed xwiki-rest-simplexml-model to xwiki-rest-model-simplexml. I didn't
touch the gson model lately. So no changes are made to gson model.
