Hi all,

Does any body knows what are the major differences between soap and rest based web services with some simple examples. Which one is more preferable and why ?

Thanks

Another most difference is   ,REST can not support attachments ,variable assignment but with SOAP we can do it.

SOAP focuses on exposing pieces of application logic (not data) as services.

Guys will you please elaborate it more. want some simple language rather than text copied over the internet.

Hi Arun,

Please share your requirement clearly so that people will come up with more   ideas which can be helpful to you.

because   both SOAP and REST have their own importance.

thanks
