I am creating a web service in ASP.NET that needs to be accessed from Android, iOS and BB. The big stickler here is that I do not want to use any libraries on these mobile platforms to read the transmitted data. I know that Android has a JSON parser built-in, but iOS does not. I also know that WCF-format is out, since none of them read that.

Is my only choice using a proprietary format for the transmitted data to be read by these devices? Has anyone found a good (native) format for the communication with the service across the platforms that doesn’t involve creating a proprietary format?

    Use JSON. It’s built into Android and Blackberry, and there are Objective-C libraries to use it with iOS. It’s light and compact and easy to create and parse.
