soap vs REST vs JSON in SOA
- by Muhammad Adnan
I writing here to clear my and may be many people 's misconceptions about them...
first my question is:
SOAP is xml based protocol
REST is web based architectural web service
JSON is standard but not xml based
how can we compare them???? as trio are different things
2nd question is:
is REST response xml based only or json based also??? if it is also xml based then how can we consider it different then SOAP and even faster...
3rd question is:
how can we apply authentication header on REST and jSON based web services (any reference with description)
4th question is:
what is SOA and if some application contains some web services, can we consider it SOA based means what are SOA specs...
your response would be appreciated :)
