title: Web service advice for an iPhone app
body: <p>I am currently working on an iPhone app that will have a user log in, enter a workorder or building, and the app will display workorder/building information. The user will then be able to edit some of the data and submit it to the server. The backend database is a MySQL server. What is the best web service to use for this situation? I've been reading about SOAP, JSON, etc. but I honestly haven't found a good description of the pros/cons of each and how well they work with an iPhone app. Any and all help (or links to useful reading) would be greatly appreciated!</p>
