Magnet rest2mobile generates native code for mobile apps from REST APIs. It turns actual REST requests and responses into source code (Objective-C, Android, and JavaScript) that you can call from your mobile app. The source code automatically handles:
- server connections
- marshalling and unmarshalling JSON data
- JSON data conversion into the native object types
rest2mobile provide tools that allow you to generate native Mobile API directly from REST queries, within your IDE, or from the command line. All these tools are freely available on the following github repositories:
- rest2mobile for Android Studio and IntelliJ IDEA
- rest2mobile for XCode
- rest2mobile CLI
- samples example for rest2mobile CLI
Given REST request/response examples, rest2mobile can infer the entire object model for your requests and responses. The IDE plugins and CLI just ask you to specify the GET/POST/PUT/DELETE REST requests and responses and automatically generates the method and types required to invoke the REST service from your Mobile App.
For instance, see how to use the CLI here. The plugins make it even easier.
You will need to include the right Magnet Mobile SDK in your project:
