I want to build a mobile app using jQuery Mobile.
The App should have a list of drink recipes (1500 pieces) with images attached.
What would be the best way to store the recipes and images?
I am thinking that the recipies should be structured and stored in one big XML file, and the images should be in a folder.
It is the plan to publish the app as native using PhoneGap.
The app should be able to work offline.
Any suggestions to my question?
If this is possible try to set up a webservice and using eg. JSONP technique try to download the data. Storing in folder does not let you update your content, which may be useful for adding new recipe or changing existing one. Images may be stored in folder and accessed by javascript on ajax success.
It would be a good idea to store already downloaded recipes in SQLite database.
