Twitter ApI for iPhone impl?

Question

I am going to use twitter in an app I'm making and am wondering the best way to go about doing this. I have some experience with Rest and have thought about just calling the API straight up and parsing the xml.

My question is what is the best way? I'm seen some Twitter Frameworks such as MGTwitterEngine, but am wondering if it would be faster just to use the twitter web services then to learn a framework.

What's the best solution.

Answer 1

In my opinion, use an existing framework unless you have a definitive reason not to use one. I don't think doing all the parsing yourself will be easier, especially when your code gradually grows more complex (as it inevitably does).

MGTwitterEngine seems relatively simple, and I don't think it will take you long to learn.

Answer 2

No reason not to use a freely provided framework from a Mac/iPhone expert developer.
