My requirement is just to display a set of values retrieved from database on a spread. I am using jquery.

Answer 1

Favor XML over JSON when any of these is true:

• You need message validation
• You’re using XSLT
• Your messages include a lot of marked-up text
• You need to interoperate with environments that don’t support JSON

Favor JSON over XML when all of these are true:

• Messages don’t need to be validated, or validating their deserialization is simple
• You’re not transforming messages, or transforming their deserialization is simple
• Your messages are mostly data, not marked-up text
• The messaging endpoints have good JSON tools
