The AMF response data structure called from ExtJS is different from that called from Flex - apache-flex

Question

I'm trying to use ExtJS5.1.2 as a front-end to replace Flex3 UI.
I heard that ExtJS can use AMF. I tested calling AMF from ExtJS, and it was success.
I expected it returns the same response as AMF+Flex3. But it didn't.
The response it called from ExtJS is slower and heavy than Flex.
What I tested:
Get 10000 records from Oracle DB and show it at DataGrid.
The data size:
13.1MB(ExtJS)
2.6MB(Flex3)
I saw the responses at Firebug.
The binary response is garbling, but it looks that the data structures are different.
in ExtJS5.1.2
The field names appeared every record.

The question:
In spite of both are calling same AMF, why are the responses different?
I need lightweight response like a Flex+AMF if possible.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm using Ext JS 5.1.2, BlazeDS3, Tomcat6, Adobe Flex3.4.
Updated: Nov 04 16:05(JST)
I've read the source code of Ext.direct.AmfRemotingProvider and discovered this.
if (me.binary) {
encoder = new Ext.data.amf.Encoder( {format: 0}); // AMF message sending always uses AMF0 Here!!
// encode packet
encoder.writeAmfPacket(amfHeaders, amfMessages);
request.binaryData = encoder.bytes;
request.binary = true; // Binary response
request.headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/x-amf'};
} else {
encoder = new Ext.data.amf.XmlEncoder();
// encode packet
encoder.writeAmfxRemotingPacket(amfMessages[0]);
request.xmlData = encoder.body;
}
AmfRemotingProvider uses AMF0.
To be honest, I don't understand much about what's the difference between AMF0 and AMF3.
Anyway I'm doubting there and researching how to use AMF3 from ExtJS.

Call AMF from ExtJS
Ext.Direct.addProvider({

"name":"getTestRecords", // method name of the method to call
"len":0 // number of parameters
}]
}
});
foo.getTestRecords((function(provider, response) {
var store = Ext.getStore("baz");
store.loadData(provider);

Call AMF from Flex3

I tried to use Node.js & node-oracledb driver with gzip compression instead of using the AMF & BlazeDS.
The response data size was 900KB!
ExtJS+Node.js(900KB) vs Flex3+AMF3(2.6MB)
However the AMF3 still about 2x faster than Node.js.
