Which is the best proto

Answer 1

In My Opinion, you should use REST/SOAP web sevices based on document-oriented structures, This will be helpful in the Large response.

You can also integerate Apache SOLR for this Purpose this is used for Indexing the Large Datasets and is even much faster and it is also REST enabled, you can index your data in the SOLR cores and then create REST calls from Client i.e. IOS, Android, PHP etc. so the documents will already be processed and you just need to add filters and other things as required on client.

Let me know if you want any more help regarding this.
