What is the best way to consume REST services in Windows Store Apps?

I am quite new to Windows Store Apps developement and I need to consume a REST based web service.

My issue is that there has been so much movement in development technologies made for consuming modern web services during the last years, that in the end it is hard and confusing to find out what is easiest and, especially, what are the most up to date solutions to achieve that.

I want to use the Discogs API in a Windows Store Apps using C#. I only need to use GET.

Thanks.

Edit: The main reason why I ask what is the best way to consume REST services in Windows Store Apps, is because I need a solution compliant with asynchrony.

Solution

  • Well of course there's HttpWebRequest in .NET which is adequate. If you want some abstraction there are options like RestSharp ( http://restsharp.org/ ).
