 SOAP vs REST
Client/ Server

• A SOAP client tightly coupled to the server.

• Rigid contact between client and server, and everything is expected to break
if either side changes anything.

• A REST client is a generic client

• Least Parsing -> Faster
• A client can enter a REST service with zero knowledge of the API, except for
the entry point and the media type
