Hey all.

I am looking for a fast and efficient protocol that can be used between different web services to send text-data (not binary data). Doesn't matter if the protocol is binary or text base.

Some conditions:

I has to be more "efficient" than normal XML which adds a lot of extra data and the tools to read/write is too heavy
It has to be "supported" by most major languages, meaning it cannot only be available for one specific language. At the moment, both Java and PHP have to be able to talk to each other using this protocol.

I have already looked at:

XML - which I am currently using.
Hessian 2 -which works perfectly in Java, but the PHP-support is out of date
JSON -the different between JSON and XML is only minor

Any suggestions are welcome!
