This one is of promise. We are evaluating it and trying it out (and sometimes ripping it out).

"RestKit is an Objective-C framework for iOS that aims to make interacting with RESTful web services simple, fast and fun. It combines a clean, simple HTTP request/response API with a powerful object mapping system that reduces the amount of code you need to write to get stuff done."

I've played around with it and my team is using it on our current project. I've found it to be a bit rough around the edges. It's still in the process of transforming from an internal resource to a community based open source project, but I think the two toasters crew is very serious about making it work and are doing a great job.

I'd recommend others try it out if you aren't afraid of dipping into their code. I found it to be quite readable and the two toasters team have shown themselves to be very good at communicating with other people interested in the project. My hope is that they will continue to work through the kinks and RestKit can become a standard library for apps dealing with RESTful services.

We were playing with it too, but ended up doing our own thing in the end.
