Web Service is a method of communication that allows two application systems to exchange their data over the Internet. The term Web Service describes a standardized way of integrating web-based applications. The software system that requests data is called a service requester, also called a consumer, whereas the software system that processes the request and provides the data is called a service provider. There are two major types of Web Services:
SOAP Web Services, in which the service may expose an arbitrary set of operations.
RESTful Web Services, in which the primary purpose of the service is to manipulate XML representations of web resources using a uniform set of stateless operations.
