I’m building an IOS app that will need to talk to a MySql database which will be shared with a WP site.
(Essentially the APP will send data to MySql which will then be reflected on the WP site)
So I think we need a simple REST API to talk to the MySql database.. Is that correct?
Are there any established solutions out there for this problem?
Thanks
if you really want ‘raw’ database access, you could use dbslayer ( http://code.nytimes.com/projects/dbslayer ) – a http+json abstraction for mysql. You have to be very careful with access right though.
For really fast JSON handling you can use JSONKit https://github.com/johnezang/JSONKit
