I have a website running on PHP and i need to develop apps for same on Android, iOS and Windows Phone platforms. I guess i need to create web services to fetch data from the website but i am not very familiar with it.
Which one of these approaches will be best from compatibility and ease of use point of view that can be used on all the platforms:
1) Rest based web service 2) SOAP based web service 3) Any other approaches
Also what will be the best response format which can be easily consumed on all the platforms and has in built SDK support to parse them: XML/JSON/SOAP
If somebody came across such scenarios please suggest. Appreciate any responses as i have to start implementing same ASAP.
Thanks, MG
