  • 0

could someone point me in the right direction in how i can parse data from a blog to an iphone. E.g. You have a table view displaying the posts of the blog, you select a table cell and text content is displayed. Are there any tutorials/examples on this?

I have a bit of experience with parsing data using JSON (parsed data from database to iphone) but unsure on where to start with this?

Thanks for an help..

    What you want to do is use the WordPress API. The flow goes like this:

    • Make an API call. This is a subject unto itself, but typically you’d use NSHTTPRequest and NSURLConnection to make the request.
    • Parse the result. I forget if you get XML back; you probably do; in that case there are tons of solutions for parsing, including NSXMLParser and libxml2.
    • Populate UITables, etc. with the retrieved information.

    The WordPress API is not that big or complex, but it’s a bigger subject than I can really get into in the context of an SO answer, so I’ll just refer you to the aforelinked documentation and wish you happy reading.
