To communicate to other devices/servers you need some protocol. You can use your own socket, or use Http Protocol.
By Using HttpProtocol you can invoke a url, post some data to url, get some data from the url.
Now, If you have decided to go to Http Connection, you would need some webservices, by which you can send and receive data from url, there are various types of webservices, in which, two are mostly used.
1. Rest Services
2. Soap Webservices
and you can send and receive data, either in xml or json, as both are very standardized and easy to use.
