CSV vs. XML vs. JSON. Which is the Best Response Data Format?

by Eric Rowell
Whether you are building a thin client (web application) or thick client (client-server application) at some point you are probably making requests to a web server and need a good data format for responses. As of today, there are three major data formats being used to transmit data from a web server to a client: CSV, XML, and JSON. In order to develop an application with a solid architecture, it’s a good idea to understand the differences between each format and know when to use them. The purpose of this post is to define each data format, lay out the pros and cons for each, and discover which situations work best with each format.
PHP vs. Java – Which One Is the Better Web Language?
Posted on March 4th, 2010
by Eric Rowell
Traditionally, it seems like Java is the web language of choice for corporations, and PHP has been the web language of choice for people who own their own websites (i.e. small scale websites). It also seems like both of these groups will swear by anything that their language, whether it be PHP or Java, is the supreme language of the universe. I personally have experience with both PHP and Java, have owned my own websites (like www.webkrunk.com), and have also worked at a large corporation as a Java developer. The purpose of this post is to help explain the apparent segregation between both groups while providing some guidance as to which platform to choose depending on your situation.
