How to setup a CMS as a backend for iPhone app

Question

I would like my iPhone app to get dynamic content off the net. This content should be managed using a CMS. I would like to know in particular if I can setup Drupal or Joomla or other CMS as a backend for my iphone app to get the content.

Any advice on how this can be achieved would be helpful.

I am completely new to setting up/using CMS.

Answer 1

You can also take a look at StorageRoom, which is a CMS for Mobile Applications.

Disclaimer: I created this myself to scratch my own itch.

Answer 2

Wordpress with the JSON-API plugin is a great solution, especially if you need a web site as well.

You can find a good example here that uses Wordpress and Phonegap to get a basic app going.

Answer 3

If you can access the content in any serialized format (e.g. XML or JSON), it should be no problem to use any CMS as a "backend" for your application.
