Difference between SyncML or JSON for synching

701 Views Asked by At

I wanted to sync contacts, calendar information from mobile devices to the server. Is SyncML the right choice to implement or one can go with JSON too? What is the difference between both these?

Synchronization Markup Language (SyncML) is standard format for sync datas with server. It's based on XML.

If you are going to use separate sync server like Funambol, which is using SyncML to synchronize contact and calender. then you have nothing to do with SyncML.

If you are going to sync contact information using your custom application, then json would be a good choice.
