Microsoft Bing iPhone and Mac Software Development Kit is now available for download at Bing’s CodePlex. The SDK is open source under Microsoft Public License. Microsoft Bing SDK is based on Cocoa Framework and therefore Mac and iPhone developers can easily integrate results from the Bing search engine into their application.

Microsoft says the SDK provides:

• The ability to easily query Bing from within your Cocoa or Cocoa Touch application.

• Perform both synchronous and asynchronous queries.

• Search Bing for Web, Image, Video, News, and Phonebook results.

As per Microsoft, SDK was designed to remove the headache of manually having to parse XML or JSON in order to communicate with the Bing API.

Microsoft Bing SDK is available for download from here. You can also get a quick “getting started” doc and the full documentation for all the objects and classes in the library.
