Using WordPress for custom web app

    I would like to create a simple CRUD web app that also has a mobile component that both use the same database.

    I am hoping to use wordpress for the web front end and then use a cloud mobile development tool for the mobile piece. I am thinking I can connect the mobile app to the wordpress mySQL database using REST APIs.

    The data structure will be custom tables, is there a wordpress plugin that can handle a custom data structure? and if so, will the wordpress REST APIs be able to incorporate custom data?

    Or should I try to use custom post types and fields in wordpress and then use whatever data structure that is created with the REST APIs?

    My advice is to hire a web host and set up a wordpress.ORG software install.

    Note that about 30% of those who post here daily are posting to wrong support forum and the answers to wordpress.COM and WordPress.ORG support questions are not the same.

    WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    This is wordpress.COM support. We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
    (1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
    (2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM.
    (3) sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page.

    wordpress.org support
    The wordpress.ORG support forum is at     http://wordpress.org/support. The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/ If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/
    WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
    See also https://apps.wordpress.org/support/ for app support.

    Jetpack support
    Some Jetpack solutions are here http://jetpack.com/support/
    Others are in the Jetpack support forum at WordPress.org
    http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpack
    However, if help cannot be found at either one then they can file a Jetpack support ticket here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service
