How to write a Web Service (REST Web Service) ?

Hi,

As you can see in the attached code this is a WSDL SOAP service.

In "IOS 5", and others mobile environments, the best option is to use a "REST" style service, where the queries are made directly to a URL, and not by a WSDL descriptor.

In this case, the Web Service is returning the contents in JSON format but are wrapped in an XML structure, which IOS and other mobile devices is more difficult to interpret.

What changes I must to do in this web service in order to become a  "REST" web service?

Someone could made the changes for me, please?

I have not idea about how is a REST web service.

Thanks in advance,

Jonny.

This is my WSDL SOAP web service.
