Good day!
I am a newbie in Lua programming language for Corona. Can someone help me on how to consume REST web services using Lua Corona? I am calling on a particular URL and the URL’s response is in xml format. I need to parse the XML Response and get its value.
Thanks! Your suggestions are of big help.

That post is JSON based instead of XML and if you have a choice to use JSON, it’s better since Lua Tables work really well with JSON and most REST services can provide it.
There was just an XML blog post (http://coronalabs.com/blog) this past week and there was another XML based post a year or so ago where you could get an XML library from if you need XML.
