I have to write some web services to support some mobile apps (Android and iOS) that our company will be producing. Because we use Windows/IIS servers the services will be based on WCF/.NET 4. I’m wondering what format will be the easiest to use on the mobile end. I know there’s JSON, SOAP, and others, I just don’t know which has the best support within a mobile environment. Suggestions?
I intend to have a single set of WCF services which are consumed by both mobile platforms.
For my experience, working with JSON is the best way for iOS and Android.
The server… I would use Java (struts or similar).
Hope this helps
