I'm getting ready to start my first app, and I wanted to grab some data from exposed webservices at data.gov. However, it seems that all the web services they offer are SOAP based.

I cruised this question and I don't want to use ksoap2 if the overall community isn't happy with it. That question is also almost 2 years old, and something might exist now that I didn't find via google. (which is only ksoap2).

Well, the only news I can give you that, ksoap2 has a light weight Android porting now:

ksoap2-android

I don't want to use ksoap2 if the overall community isn't happy with it.

What are you talking about? Many Android developers I know are working with ksoap2-android, AFAIK. What news source did you use to get this impression?

  • My impression reading the responses to the previous question was that some programmers weren't happy with ksoap2. Knowing that SOAP is processor-intensive I was worried about that too; but if there's an android-specific library I'll need to take a look at it. – avgvstvs Jan 26 '11 at 13:41
