TRUE ENTERPRISE GRADE

mobile apps




From REST APIs to Mobile apps


APIs are everywhere

• Providers expose services as APIs• REST/JSON is the de-facto standard• Developers can build truly personalized

experiences


The new world of connected apps

• Consumer apps connect to 5 to 6 services–  FB, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.

• Enterprise apps integrate with various back-ends (CRM, ERP, Ecommerce, etc.) and cloud services (sf.com, Box, vertical service providers, etc.)


Integrating with REST Services

•  Connecting to REST APIs is a fairly convoluted process:1.  Remote connections2.  Data marshaling/un-marshaling3.  Exception handling4.  API maintenance


Integrating with REST Services

•  Developers spend a lot of time writing code to consume APIs•  Keeping mobile SDKs in sync can be a nightmare


The solutions

•  Swagger•  Retrofit•  APIMatic.io•  rest2mobile


rest2mobile

•  Mobile focused– Android, iOS & JS

•  No specification required– Generate directly from REST examples– Create code from live API calls or from documentation

•  Modular code generation

Simplicity

•  Type-safe mobile code


For mobile developers

•  Built with mobile developer experience in mind:– Plugins for the IDEs: Xcode & Android Studio/IntelliJ IDEA•  Keep the developer in the IDE – Maximize flow•  Refactoring made easy•  Async/call-backs

– Command line for multi-language scripting & automation


Rest2mobile in a nutshell

•  Open Source – Mobile SDKs (iOS, Andrdoid and JS)– Plugins and CLI available on Github– Apache License, Version 2.0

•  Easy on-boarding– Library of REST API examples
