RESTful Web Services
- Share to:
There are a number of protocols and standards, mostly built on top of HTTP, designed for building Web Services (note the capitalization). These standards are collectively called the WS-* stack. They include WS-Notification, WS-Security, WSDL, and SOAP. Throughout this book we give the name “Big Web Services” to this collection of tech- nologies as a fairly gentle term of disparagement.
This book does not cover these standards in any great detail. We believe you can im- plement web services without implementing Big Web Services: that the Web should be all the service you need. We believe the Web’s basic technologies are good enough to be considered the default platform for distributed services.
Some of the WS-* standards (such as SOAP) can be used in ways compatible with REST and our Resource-Oriented Architecture
