I would like my iPhone app to get dynamic content off the net. This content should be managed using a CMS. I would like to know in particular if I can setup Drupal or Joomla or other CMS as a backend for my iphone app to get the content.

Any advice on how this can be achieved would be helpful.

I am completely new to setting up/using CMS.

If you can access the content in any serialized format (e.g. XML or JSON), it should be no problem to use any CMS as a "backend" for your application.

does drupal or joomla provide such a feature of providing the content in XML/JSON? and also authenticating each request to the server? or should i implement these features on my own in the server?
