1 The Problem
Database
Many Questions
Formats?
Libraries?
“Best” approaches?
2 The Solutions
Bad news
Far too many
REST vs SOAP
XML vs JSON
Synchronous vs. Asynchronous
None
Good News
Introducing iPhoneWebServicesClient
http://github.com/akosma/ iPhoneWebServicesClient
2 parts
1 PHP server app
2 iOS client
Many formats
XML
JSON
(duh)
• XML • 8 libraries • JSON • 2 parsers
• YAML • CSV • SOAP • Property List • XML • Binary • Protocol Buffers
Extensible
(add more formats and libraries if you want)
Variable sized dataset
(from 1 to 5000 items per call)
Heterogenous Data Source
(the same data in different formats)
XML Libraries
(lots of them)
None
3 Demo
None
4 The Tests
• Local • Wifi • 3G • EDGE • All
Combinations • Different dataset sizes each time
None
5 Results
Easier to implement on the iOS side?
1. JSON + Property Lists + CSV 2. XML (DOM)
+ Protocol Buffers 3. XML (SAX) 4. SOAP + YAML
Easier to implement on the PHP side?
1. JSON + YAML 2. Property List + CSV +
XML 3. Protocol Buffers 4. SOAP
Smaller Payload
1. CSV + Protocol Buffers + Binary Plist 2. JSON
+ YAML 3. XML 4. SOAP
Fastest Deserialization Speed
1. Property Lists + TBXML 2. SOAP + libxml (DOM)
+ Google XML 3. JSON 4. YAML + CSV + APXML
More Portable?
1. XML + JSON 2. Protocol Buffers + YAML +
CSV 3. SOAP 4. Property Lists
More Readable?
1. JSON + YAML 2. XML + XML Property Lists
3. Protocol Buffers 4. Binary Property Lists
Less Memory Consumption?
1. Binary Property List + Protocol Buffers 2. CSV +
JSON + TBXML 3. XML 4. SOAP + APXML
Some raw, deeply flawed comparisons?
• Binary Plists are 3 to 4 times faster to
deserialize than JSON • iPod touch 2nd Gen is ~25% faster than iPhone 3G • iPhone 4 is ~300% faster than iPhone 3G • JSON is 45% of its equivalent XML plist • Binary plist is 35% of its equivalent XML plist
The “Best”?
1. JSON + Property Lists 2. TBXML + Protocol Buffers
3. Other XML parsers + CSV 4. YAML + SOAP + APXML
None
6 Next Steps
Test with other server-side technologies
(J2EE, ASP.NET, Ruby on Rails, Django...)
Test with other Cocoa networking libraries
• AsyncSocket http://akos.ma/0x37v • IP*Works! for Mac OS X http://www.nsoftware.com/portal/macos/
• OmniNetworking http://akos.ma/0q • ThoMoNetworking http://hci.rwth-aachen.de/thomonet • ConnectionKit http://github.com/karelia/ConnectionKit/
Test with other serialization systems
• MessagePack http://msgpack.org/ • Apache Thrift http://incubator.apache.org/thrift/ • BERT http://bert-rpc.org/
• Apache Avro http://avro.apache.org/ • ONC RPC aka Sun RPC http://akos.ma/va Open Network Computing Remote Procedure Call
Test with different data sets
(sport results, weather, financial data, hyerarchical data, binary data, etc...)
None
