Whaich data format for end-to-end application

Hi,

i'm coding a J2ME and J2EE application end-to end  and I was wondering what the pros out there would reccomend as a data format to communicate between the j2me client and the j2ee server.

I thought about webservices but maybe it is a little overkill and not all devices support webservices...
I also thought about custom XML with a litle xml parser in the j2ME client...?

I want to reduce bandwidth consumption at the maximum as the j2me app will be intensively querying the server but I also want the format used to be simple and that's why I thought of XML.

What do you guys usually use ? What is the actual reccomendation ?

Thanks
