Abstract
Mobile devices are growing on a pace without precedents. It is estimated that by 2013 there will be about 1.1 Billion Smartphones on use. This quick growth on Smartphone numbers and the appearance of marketplaces where mobile applications can easily be bought or downloaded is turning mobile development into a big market. As the number of users grows in a fast pace, so does the demand for new applications, leading to faster development cycles in order to produce faster results. In many cases, mobile applications are connected to pre-existing systems and it is necessary to find a quick, but stable, secure and light way to establish a communication between the mobile application and the pre-existing background system. This article aims to show how restful Webservices, combined with JSON, may help developers to fill this gap while keeping security, stability and speed.
