I am creating tree with some custom control prepared with JavaScript/jquery.

For creating the tree we are supplying json object as the input to java-script to iterate through and create the tree.

Since the volume of data may go up-to 25K nodes. during a basic load test we identified that the browser will be crashed for such volume.

The alternate solution is just load first level of the nodes and rest load on demand via AJAX request. the volume of first level can vary up-to 500 - 1K nodes.

What is the max size a json should have as a response from the server. What could be the best approach to process such volume of data on browser.

There is no max size limit of the http response (or the max size of Int or the limit of browser or the limit of server have been configured).

The best approach is use AJAX to load part of data while it need to be shown.
