I have a .NET Windows service that needs to expose an API. I am using remoting now during development process.
Right now all my methods accept and return XML. I already have a lot of custom serialization and deserialization code for the needed objects.
None of these objects are very large.
I want to make my API available to many languages easily.
I have considered hosting a web service inside the service and also just plain sockets.
What is the best way to expose this API?
Use WCF, hosted in the service. It’s clean, flexible, and supported.
