Using Salesforce REST APIs with Mobile SDK

The Salesforce API provides services for accessing Salesforce objects through REST endpoints. Mobile SDK supports these services by providing REST classes that

• Implement factory methods that create REST request objects for you.
• Send authenticated requests, based on your configuration, to Salesforce.
• Intercept the server’s response and return it to your app as a Swift or Objective-C object.

In Mobile SDK for iOS, all REST requests are performed asynchronously. Responses for successful REST requests arrive in your app as Array or Dictionary objects. If a request fails, the response contains an Error object.
