REST JSON or SOAP API for VirtueMart 2

[dawkin]

We have to develop a mobile client for a VirtueMart based shop. Is there any plugin that provides REST JSON or SOAP api for VM2? If there is none available in the market( I did search in the forums and web and could not find any) , any suggestions on how I can go about developing one?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Hi dawkin,

I'm not too sure how this works, I've never used it or built an app from it, but I'm pretty sure Joomla! XML-RPC was developed and included to do exactly what you're asking for.

That might be a good starting point for your research. Be sure to keep me updated on your progress, I'll be very interested to know how it works too.

Good luck.

Hello Ivus,

In our team, we have not used XML-RPC in Joomla! Also, we prefer to have the API in JSON format rather than in XML. So we may  have to create a custom JSON API component.

Thanks
