POjson vs xml annotations for mapkit
text
Body
copied!<p>I have been working on a maps application (iphone) originally I had my annotations set up to pull XML from google using their Places API. I'm having <strong>3 issues</strong>.</p> <ol> <li><p>For my annotation info, I was going off of an example from Zen (http://www.zen-sign.com/finding-business-listings-and-displaying-with-mapkit-part-1/ ) and he has it set up to do it by keyword, which wasn't really necessary for me ( but I used it anyway just to get a feel for getting the annotations) in the parser header he has:</p> <pre><code>-(void) getBusinessListingsByKeyword:(NSString*)keyword atLat:(float)lat atLng:(float)lng; </code></pre> <p>and in the the viewdidload of his view controller</p> <pre><code>[locationsMap findLocationsByKeyword:@"Apple" ]; </code></pre> <p>I'm not sure how to move from the keyword parse version used in zen to something that just does it automatically (in the parser object- without the viewdidload in a different view controller if possible).</p> <p>Any advice on what to read/watch or sample code much appreciated</p></li> <li><p>For places information Google isn't the only kid on the block and XML I hear comes in second to JSON. So I wanted to know what the best practice was for map annotations made from business information: JSON or XML?</p></li> <li><p>The other issue I was having was only getting 10 annotations (I want to get 50 or more). So on top of your advice on using XML or JSON. How to I increase the amount of annotations I'm getting.</p></li> </ol> <p>Sorry for making this 3 parts but again any tutorials (text of video) would be very helpful. (So far I've watched hegarty from Stanford, Larson from MATC)</p>
