manpreet Tuteehub forum best answer Best Answer 2 years ago


i'm building an android application, at some point the application will need to request data (and possibly send) from/to a web server.

Now, i have little experience about building a web server, i only built a restful web service once, and i'd like to know what's the best server-side technology to use in this case ?

I did some searching and i found out that some say that writing RESTful services is a good option.

is there any other server-side technology that could be well suited and designed for mobile applications ?

Also i need to know if this technology will support handling multiple requests at the same time.

Thanks

Use REST. It is quiete easy to use in android. I use rest with a simple HTTPPost/Get and I parse the data to json. This is very simply done by the libary gson.

SOAP is another way to do this. But this is more complicated on android side and if you say you have experience by a RESTful webservice this would be your choice. Otherwise I read that SOAP have a huge XML-Overhead. This does not matter if you use REST with json.
