How to send json data to RESTful API in Unity3D?

Good afternoon friends!

I am a programmer and I'm a little time learning about the Unity and the game development universe. I came a doubt that I could not find the answer very well. What is the best architecture or solution to work with a mobile multiplayer game using a restful webservice? It's possible? It is the best way to do something online multiplayer?

I've been studying a bit WWWForm class and tried to simulate sending data via JSON using JSONObject but without much success. I can not actually send a javascript object.

An example:

Code (CSharp):

1. public void enviar(JSONObject json, Objeto obj)
2. {
3.     string url = "http://myurl/unity.php";
4.  
5.     WWWForm form = new WWWForm();
6.  
7.     form.AddField("var1", "[{\"Nome\":\""+obj.name+"\"}]");
8.  
9.     WWW www = new WWW(url, form);
10.  
11.     StartCoroutine(WaitForRequest(www));
12. }
13.  
14. IEnumerator WaitForRequest(WWW www)
15. {
16.     yield return www;
17.  
18.         // check for errors
19.     if(www.error == null)
20.     {
21.         Debug.Log("WWW Ok!: " + www.text);
22.     } else {
23.         Debug.Log("WWW Error: "+ www.error);
24.     }  
25. }

and my PHP file I have the following test:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. $t = $_POST['var1'];
3. $novot = json_decode($t);
4.  
5. foreach($novot as $novo){
6. $fp = fopen("bloco1.txt","a");
7.  
8. $escreve = fwrite($fp, $novo);
9.  
10. fclose($fp);}
11.  

All I can back is a stdClass, I can handle, but that to me is something very manual. There is no simple and correct way of working with webservices?
Thanks in advance!

 

I would suggest using just straight WWW and passing your JSON as a byte array using the overload that takes the url, data and headers:

http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/WWW-ctor.html

 

Thanks for the answer! I looked but I was not sure yet. In any case, I think that the best solution can not be even connect via a web service but something like the Photon. I'm still studying it and even to a little lost.

 

Check the following RestClient for Unity, working with promises is better!

Also you can see the demo, it's very easy!
