When deciding whether to implement a web service using SOAP or REST (by which I mean HTTP/XML in a RESTful manner) what should I be aware of and what should I be thinking of? I presume that this isn’t a one size fits all thing so how do I choose which to use.
The following links provide useful information about WSDL vs REST including Pros and Cons
A couple of key points are that
1) SOAP was designed for a distributed computing environment where as REST was designed for a point to point environment.
2) WADL can be used to define the interface for REST services.
