I'm building a Windows Phone 7 Silverlight app. Is there any reason to use RestSharp instead of WebClient? I've looked around on the RestSharp site, but it's not immediately obvious what the benefits are.
RestSharp removes the following pain points:
request.AddParameter(name, value)
instead of manually compiling request bodiesDeserialization is probably the biggest gain since for most APIs you don't have to do very much to get the XML or JSON into your C# objects.
I would check out these pages for more info
