Compiler-based Web Services code conversion model for different languages of mobile application

Mobile applications are very popular nowadays. The two most common platforms depend on different languages to have native performance. Most trans-compiler-based converters between those languages didn’t take webservices conversion into consideration. However, in recent years, mobile applications developers have used web services for lighter and more dynamic mobile applications. Therefore, it becomes crucial to include web services mapping to the trans-compiler-based code converters for mobile applications code. In this paper, we present a model for web service trans-compiler code mapper from swift for iOS to java for Android to be integrated to previous trans-pilers. The testing for the conversion accuracy is done for six different web services functions. The average accuracy of converting webservice calling from iOS to Android is 89.3%. In addition, due to the rise of generative language models and their capability to generate code, we compare OpenAI’s chatGPT to our tool, evaluating its capabilities for code translation and exploring the potential of prompt engineering for seamless integration into our trans-compiler tool.
