A Comparison of the Efficiency of Using HTML over XML and JSON for the Asynchronous Communication in Rich Internet Applications

Abstract

— Rich Internet Applications use XML or JSON to format the data in asynchronous communication, which engaged a serialization process in the server and a deserialization process in the client. If we use HTML to format the data it can get rid of the de-serialization process and make the development easier. In this paper we compare the efficiency of using HTML over XML and JSON, for asynchronous communication in Rich Internet Applications, by the means of time and the size of the data. Based on the results, we expect to introduce a set a facts to consider when selecting the technique / technology for the asynchronous communication in Rich Internet Applications.
