GWT has built in support for JSON which is a pretty light weight encoding scheme
based around a javascript notation (i.e fast since javascript interpreters are
built into browsers). See http://www.json.org

On the PHP side there is a standard JSON library which is part of PEAR.

Although both PHP and GWT do understand and have libraries for JSON they don't
have built in JSON-RPC libraries but the protocol is easy enough to implement. By
easy I mean it took me (a moderate programmer) a couple of hours (after ironing
out all the bugs :) to build the RPC side of it. See http://json-rpc.org for more
details.

If you need any further info I would be happy to help you out, drop me an email
and I will see what I can dig up for you to look at.

Jon
