What are the key stages of the Mobile App Development process?
Mobile app development heavily relies on web APIs for communication, utilizing the same HTTP protocol familiar to web browsers, ensuring broad compatibility. When a mobile app needs data or functions from another application, it sends an HTTP request to the API endpoint. The API processes this request and responds with the requested information or action confirmation via an HTTP response. Data is commonly exchanged in structured, machine-readable formats like JSON, which is particularly favored in mobile development for its efficiency, or sometimes XML.
