服务器或Android手机上的字符串处理。 哪个更好？ [关闭]

Question

I am working on an android application that uploads a file to my server and then gets a string response. The String requires modification before presenting to the user.Should the modification be done on the server or the phone...Which is faster?

Answer 1

Server is something you control. If it's slow, upgrade it. But you cannot control devices and there are plethora of them, some are high-end some are low-end. So basically you cannot expect any processing to be fast on the device side because their performance is not uniform.

Having said that, I would suggest moving as much processing as possible to server side. A good app is light but rich. Just like Google. It's just a text field on client but behind the screen it is powered by thousands of servers.
