Q: 

Kind of web services and how to call them from an iphone

Hi!!!

I'm not able to understand the process of calling web services from my iphone application.

Please explain the procedure for calling web services in my iphone application in detail:

  • How to send request to webservices
  • How to parse the responses
  • Which protocol is used to send the request
  • Which parser is used to retrive the response

Also explain what is SOAP, JSON, HTTP GET & POST, XML and what is the purpose of all these.

I'd be very happy if you send some code for calling web services in iphone application for my easy understanding.

Thank you.

A: 

SOAP and REST are web services.. JSON and XML are the formats they (webservices) returns..

you can find about SOAP and REST here.. http://www.taranfx.com/rest-vs-soap-using-http-choosing-the-right-webservice-protocol

find xml and json here. http://www.subbu.org/blog/2006/08/json-vs-xml

If you are looking for consuming SOAP in iPhone you can read my blog here. http://www.makebetterthings.com/blogs/iphone/call-soap-web-service-from-iphone/
