The only one...what? The OP's list had many other alternatives. I agree with his assessment: -- JSON is nice but you either need to do your own marshalling code or use something like Thrift (which, unfortunately, can only export JSON -- bi-directional is a tight binary format) -- Java serialization is evil evil evil for interop -- SOAP is heavy -- Other stuff like XStream might require porting work I just happen to know that Thrift's Java implementation compiles and runs cleanly on Android, at least circa ~2 months ago. I don't know if JSON+compression is faster and/or smaller on-wire than Thrift's binary packaging. If by "the only one that works" you mean whether the Thrift service endpoint logic works, it might -- I just haven't tried it. My one case was using Thrift binary packaging over HTTP. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 2.0 Available! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
