[android-developers] Re: Cost effectiveness of JSON in Android

I don't quite understand what you're asking. By "direct connection"
do you mean on the phone or over the web?

JSON is a valid (and pretty good) way to represent data regardless of
where it is or how it's being transmitted -- much more efficient to
generate and parse than XML, better integration with Java and C++, and
more "humane" for human reading/editing.

If your intent is to replace a direct DB-query-over-the-web setup with
one that's a bit more "arms length", you still need a way to represent
the data transmitted.
