Is livecode the right tool for me

Post by ivaho » Tue Oct 31, 2017 7:58 pm

Hi All,

I'am wondering of livecode is the right tool for the job.
My company is planning of creating a mobile app that can display data from a webservice.
Currently there is a webservice available for this but it works using Soap XML.

Is it possible to aquire data using this webservice with Livecode?
And has anyone done it before if I need some help or has an example I could have a look at.

Kind regards
Ivo

The LiveCode package includes components for SOAP and other XML needs.

Try the free and open Community Edition, and if it fits your needs you can then decide if a proprietary license would be a good option for your project.

And don't forget you can read about the things Lc can do directly from the lessons page (web services and xml), or a number of other resources such as Max's wiki.

*Edit, forgot to link Max's wiki, sorry Max :|
