5 Web Services A software system designed to support interoperable machine to machine interaction over a network Web services are frequently just Web APIs that can be accessed over a network, such as the Internet, and executed on a remote system hosting the requested services. Examples. RSS, Weather, transaction service, CA. Web Service requester API Web service provider

6 Web APIs Machine-based interaction, a common feature of Web 2.0 sites, uses two main approaches to Web APIs, which allow web-based access to data and functions such as REST and SOAP REST (Representational State Transfer) Web APIs use HTTP alone to interact, with XML or JSON (JavaScript Object Notation). SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) involves POSTing more elaborate XML messages and requests to a server that may contain quite complex, but pre-defined, instructions for the server to follow. Often servers use proprietary APIs, but standard APIs (for example, for posting to a blog or notifying a blog update) have also come into wide use. Most communications through APIs involve XML See also Web Services Description Language (WSDL) (the standard way of publishing a SOAP API) and this list of Web Service specifications
