iOS: posting data to server that uses Lift as backend

[Kevin Lau]

Hi,

//if it is in HTML, we can use the tags to post the data to the server

e.g. <form id='login-form' data-lift='RegisterLogin.registerOrLogin?form=post' novalidate>

If it is in iOS environment, can we use something similar? If so, how?

Otherwise, is using Lift REST as web service is the best alternative?

e.g.

Thanks,

K.

This is how I would do it.

Dear Kevin,

i always went with the REST way, since you can simply dispatch/parse incoming JSON. There is a nice JSON Lib for iOS, forgot the name tho.

best regards!

Thanks.

I used these libraries.

#import "AFJSONUtilities.h"

#import "AFNetworking.h"

#import "JSONKit.h"

They work very well with Lift.
