Develop a web service
A web service allows a software application to work online. A programmer creates it and uploads it on a web server and thereby the service is available for use. The server on which the service stays is a web host. The web host will enable anyone to access the web service online.
A web API application is implemented here and other software applications communicate with it. Speaking of other applications, they may be a web application, mobile application or Windows application. Web applications and services communicate with each other utilizing SOAP, XML.Â
The commercial vendors also refer to Web Service. When we utilize the software application as a paid service, then the service can be addressed as SAAS. Programmers should keep in mind that there are hundreds of applications of web services. Â Â
A SOAP request is sent by a client application utilizing HTTP on the web server. The client application may be from any client computer situated anywhere in the world through an internet connection. The service responds and completes its functionality and offers a service which is utilized by the client application.
There are various situations when we create a Web IDE. One common application is when we want to incorporate heterogeneous applications. We also develop web services when the client environment is unknown to us.
When there is a requirement for multichannel client formats, we create one. It is because, a web service works utilizing XML, and XML can be transformed into any format. A service represents the intersection of three main technologies, SOA, XML and the web.
To gain a better insight, one should be accustomed with answering the following questions. It is very important to understand why we actually create a Web API application. It is also important to know when we should not create one. Â
