Hey, if you have warm snuggly feelings about The Beast From Redmond and their so far underachieving Bing search engine, have we got a treat for you today: there’s now an open source SDK for your iPhone programming joy!
The Bing SDK for iPhone and Mac is a Cocoa Framework which enables Mac and iPhone developers to easily integrate Bing search results into their applications.
The SDK was designed to remove the headache of manually having to parse XML or JSON in order to communicate with the Bing API.
The SDK Provides:
- Synchronous or Asynchronous querying
- Access to Web, Image, Video, News, and Phonebook source types
- Potential to easily add dynamic search results to all of you applications!
Not too sure why this is more interesting than [insert your favorite metaphor for uselessness here], but hey, if there’s some reason you’re not down with all the Google Mobile iPhone compatibility work, then perchance this would indeed be just the ticket.
h/t: electronista!
