title: WCF vs WebAPI and native mobile devices
body: <p>I've been working on a single-page web app that is entirely ajax-based (no POSTs) and for now I'm using ASMX for the web services while it's in development. The web services work with JSON data. For the release, I know I'll need to upgrade to either WCF or WebAPI.</p>
  
  <p>Eventually, I plan to build native mobile applications that will work with the same web services as the web app. All things being equal, if I have to choose between the two, which option should I go with so that the web services can work with different client apps?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
