I'm developing a website for a real estate company, at the moment I'm listing properties and paging the result with sql queries, more than 2000 properties are listed and there is a significant delay in loading the content. I'm thinking of returning the result of the sql query in JSON format with an AJAX request and listing the content with Jquery.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using this standard? Will I have performance in uploading content? Is it advisable to use AJAX requests that return a large amount of content in JSON format?
