Question

I have not done this before, so need some leads. I have a ASP.NET MVC4 (beta) project – Mobile project – setup. And I am given a set of REST APIs to consume. How would I do this? The APIs return data in JSON format. Do you have any examples, best practices…?

You could use the $.ajax method to send an AJAX request to the Web Api controller on the server:

$.ajax({
    url: 'api/values/123',
    type: 'GET',
    success: function(data) {
        // if the controller returned JSON data, the data argument
        // will represent a javascript object that you could directly
        // access its properties 
    }
});
