Web Services for Android

I am making an android application which have to get 1000 of records from server database. Can any one suggest me which web-service is recommended to fetch large data from Server.

  1. SOAP
  2. REST (JSON)
  3. XML
  4. or any other

I have experience of parsing of all these services, but didn't deal with that large amount of data ? Which is fastest ? Suggestions please ?

REST-JSON would be the better option, since browsers are inherently more adept with JSON So I found this article... http://blog.feedly.com/2009/03/03/jsonrest-vs-xmlsoap/

And this SO article deals with the performance of JSON over XML Is parsing JSON faster than parsing XML
