What will be the correct point of decision to develop Web Service based on SOAP and RESTful services?

  • I'm trying to understand the main difference. I saw similar post some minutes ago and it make's sense. [Are REST and SOAP enemies?](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4843330/are-rest-and-soap-enemies?rq=1) – JAVH Aug 03 '12 at 23:45

That depends entirely on your consumers and the technology they have available to them. For example, a Ruby-on-Rails app that consumes your service is probably going to prefer REST, where a java client would probably prefer SOAP.

  • Thank you. I also saw some other comments in other thread that will also need to look at. [Are REST and SOAP enemies?](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4843330/are-rest-and-soap-enemies?rq=1) – JAVH Aug 03 '12 at 23:35
  • No, (well some people will say yes) they're just different technologies for different uses. – Dan Aug 03 '12 at 23:54
