I have to choice to output the info in database (Mysql) to be json format.
Which is better and why?
If you are connecting to the database (doesn’t matter if it’s MySQL or something else) directly through binary based protocol it should be faster than REST based protocol.
REST based protocols are on the other hand more simple, straightforward and easier to implement from the client side of view than binary ones in general.
It depends if you need speed or simplicity of use. In case of binary connection you would additionaly have to parse fetched data to JSON. REST service can give you usually just what you need in desired JSON format. However if speed is crucial for you then binary protocol is better choice I would say.
