Networking and Web Service Integration
Jit Ghosh, Robert Cameron · Apress eBooks · 2009
In modern, well-architected, loosely coupled systems, a common practice is to expose application processing logic and server-resident data as a set of services. The term service is used fairly generically in this context—a service can be anything that has a known endpoint accessible over a standard web protocol like HTTP, offering information exchange capabilities using a standard format like SOAP, plain XML, or JavaScript Object Notation (JSON). These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
