When starting out developing a Hi5 app, I found examples of how to make rest calls nil to none. As such, I've decided to do my civic duty and post an example of a hi5 wrapper class, and an example using it. I hope it helps people get an easier start than I had.

The source got all screwed up in index.php, to see it clearly, in firefox, you can high-light the post, right click, and select "View Selection Source". That will show you the formatted source.

I was just looking for something like this (although I would need to write in Java). This is very helpful. Thanks!

I agree, better documentations is needed from Hi5

}

and getting error:
