What is a Web Service?

A web service is an industry standard that allows computers to exchange information regardless of the hardware or software architectures in use. Web services are built on existing standards: XML is used as the data format, and HTTP is used for data transmission.

Web Service Advantages

  • Web services provide interoperability between various software applications running on different platforms.
  • Web services use open standards and protocols. Protocols and data formats are text-based where possible, making it easy for developers to comprehend.
  • HTTP and web services can work through many common firewall security measures-- without requiring changes to the firewall filtering rules.
  • Web services allow software and services from different companies and locations to be combined easily, for better integration and flexibility.
  • Web services allow the reuse of services and components.
