Hi,

Can I use tiggzi building the apps, then the apps display data from the web mysql data table? or need some php to convert the read the data then convert to Json then pass it back to the apps?

Because if running as mobile web apps, I think a lot of people need know how to get data from their existing saved on mySQL table and pass along to the mobile app?

Services in your app that build in Tiggzi work with REST. The service may return JSON or XML. If your database is exposed via REST, then you can connect to it from your app.

Here is how Tiggzi builder works:

Hi,

Does it means if I can figure out how to populate the data in mysql tables to JSON format through PHP, then it can be connect to my apps through the REST service?

Any pointers regarding that part, so I can check it out.

Thanks,

Yes, anything exposed via REST -- you can connect to in your mobile app.
