I would certainly go with JSON, as others already noted - it's faster and data size is smaller. You can also use a data modelling framework like JSONModel to validate the JSON structure, and to autoconvert JSON objects to Obj-C objects.

JSONModel also includes classes for networking and working with APIs - also includes json rpc methods.

Have a look at these links:

• http://www.jsonmodel.com - the JSONModel framework
• http://json-rpc.org - specification for JSON APIs implementation
• http://www.charlesproxy.com - the best tool to debug JSON APIs
• http://json-schema.org - tool to define validation schemas for JSON, useful along the way

Short example of using JSONModel: http://www.touch-code-magazine.com/how-to-make-a-youtube-app-using-mgbox-and-jsonmodel/

Hope these are useful
