Using xml api for REST calls with iOS app

[ArkReversed]

Hi.

I searched around the web for this but cant quite get a definite answer.

I'm developing an ios app and my boss would like to setup and use filemaker as the backend for it (since he has other uses for filemaker too). I was thinking of using the xml api to request data such as regular records and images (through http/rest calls) but would it allow me to add/update records or create new layouts/tables as well?

Thank you in advance. ;)

You can certainly use the XML api to add and update records - this is what FX.php us used for in normal web applications.

But not new layouts and tables - there are not any of those functions available through XML as far as I know.
