问题
I am working on building an iPhone application that uses an external server to store most of the data. The server exposes all the required services using a REST API.
Ideally I would like to generate the client side code in objective-c that can consume these services. Preferably these should return objects that I can easily use instead of having to parse the return XML.
What options am I looking at ? I have researched quiet a bit on this and the closest to code generation I have seen is wsdl2objc . Since I also own the backend services I could make them SOAP based services, but I really prefer not to do that since I will later on use the same set of services to build a Web UI ( for eg). Other option I have is to go with RestKit.
Any guidance on this is much appreciated. I am pretty sure this is a use case lots of people have faced and I just am not able to find the right resources or am not looking at the right places.
Cheers !!!
回答1:
RestKit is a great framework. You're still going to have to write code, but it will make the process of moving data between Cocoa models and RESTful/JSON web services elegantly straightforward. I recommend running through the examples to get your head around their way of doing things.

Agreed with using ResKit, which allows not only to ease REST services consuming, but also mapping to CoreData and others if I remember well.
And about CoreData I would suggest using Mogenerator that intended to generate CoreData code, but it is also allowing more, since it can basically be used as a template based code generator from CoreData Models...
A good match to your question could be some Mo' templates filling the gap between both.
