If all I wanted to do with a webserver was to request data and send commands from an iPhone app, all I’d need for that is AFJSONRequestOperation, correct? Why are some people also using JSONKit with AFNetworking? If I use JSONKit then do I still need to use AFNetworking?

    You need a JSON parsing library (like JSONKit) if you are deploying to < iOS 5.

    AFNetworking does all the networking stuff
    JSONKit does the parsing/encoding of JSON on < iOS 5

    From AFNetworking git

    AFNetworking requires either iOS 4.0 and above, or Mac OS 10.6 and above.

    AFNetworking uses NSJSONSerialization if it is available. If your app targets a platform where this class is not available you can include one of the following JSON libraries to your project for AFNetworking to automatically detect and use.

    • JSONKit
    • SBJson
    • YAJL
