[android-developers] Re: JSON OR SOAP ?

Note that it's perfectly feasible to do "pull parsing" with JSON, and
I believe there are packages to do that. It's not done very often,
though, since the "in-core" representation of JSON is generally
several times more compact than the equivalent representation of XML,
so there's no need for it.
