Good day!
I’m a web developer who has to choose a way\protocol for web-server (LAMP) <-> android app communication.
I personally prefer SOAP, but it seems that support of it on Android is bad. Android seems to have a Httpclient and I’m comfortable with JSON so we can go with plain POST requests with JSON data in and out.
REST is a modern word, is there something like SOAP/WSDL stuff but for JSON/plain Http request
Are there any proven Android-friendly solutions for client\server communication?
The ksoap2-android project works just fine if you prefer SOAP. Otherwise you can look at gson or jackson or the json support in the sdk for REST support.
