Using JSON for data transfer

Robert Kosara pointed out that using JSON would be a good way to get data from our database to the iPhone. One application in particular has been implemented for the iPhone which is called TouchJSON. The link to that web site is: http://code.google.com/p/touchcode/wiki/TouchJSON.

The idea behind this is to have something that is easy to use and supported from multiple languages. As soon as I am able to build and test code, I will try to implement some of these programs to see if I can recieve data from the database. This method can also be used to send data I believe, which will prove to be very usefull in the future.
