SOAP vs. REST


SOAP vs. REST

  • SOAP uses WSDL interface (contract) definition but REST not.
  • REST is used over HTTP only but SOAP can be over any transport protocols such HTTP, FTP, STMP, JMS etc. 
  • REST permits many different data formats where as SOAP permits only XML.
  • SOAP uses SOAP envelope, but REST uses just messages.
  • REST has better performance and scalability.
