This is just a general question on the comparison between JSON and SOAP (XML). I know that XML has tags and JSON doesnt and JSON is generally faster but is there a type of scenario where JSON and SOAP shouldnt be used? Where should JSON and SOAP be used? Or is it all just a preference and doesnt matter is JSON or SOAP is used?

  • does that mean not to use soap or something because JSON is technically an upgrade to it? Im sure there must be a use for SOAP/XML – user1290653 May 17 '12 at 16:45
  • I've used JSON and XML with PHP and JSON was better and now I'm using JSON because it's faster and it is easier to use. If you need I can post you some example of using JSON. – iWizard May 17 '12 at 16:52

  • http://www.json.org/xml.html is a great reference. – honyovk May 17 '12 at 18:04
  • SOAP uses XML, but XML is not SOAP, nor is SOAP only XML. – Nanne May 17 '12 at 19:27
