You can pass data from the web service to the application using JSON format. And then you can use JSON parser

No, JSON is a format, just like XML. A JSON document could look like:

{ 
  success: true, 
  result: ['item1', 'item2'] 
}

A corresponding XML could be describer as:

<return>
  <success>true</success>
  <result>
    <item>item1</item>
    <item>item2</item>
  </result>
</return>

You should read the Wikipedia article to understand what JSON is and when to prefer using it in place of XML. Both have advantages and disadvantages.
