Remote procedural calls over socket.io in native iOS applications?

Is it possible to do remote procedural calls over socket.io in native iOS applications?

Would it be easier to do in a Titanium built application?

This Objective-C Socket.IO client library is what you're looking for:

Probably a better answer than mine, I don't do IOS. I was just interested in the RPC side of it. – ransom bot Oct 18 '12 at 04:34

As long as it's not udp you could probably write a client for it. However, curious on google I found: http://www.ziconic.com/2010/11/simple-ajax-style-rpc-code-in-your-ios.html which will be more of what you want I think. This Using XML-RPC in iPhone apps says that it handles xml on the iphone and there's https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/modules#wiki-parsers-xml which should help with that.

Hope it helps a bit. RPC documentation in xml is readily available.
