In the end of this lesson on Web Services, you will be able to:
• Define the Concept of Web Services
• Identify Key Features and Components
Web services are the types of internet software that uses standardized messaging protocol over the distributed environment.
• Web services are designed for application to application interaction.
• It should be interoperable. • It should allow communication over the network. • Web services are used for reusing the code and connecting the existing program.
• Web services can be used to link data
between two different platforms.
• It provides interoperability between
disparate applications. input REQUEST
RESPONSE output
There are two popular formats for request and response
XML and JSON. XML Format: XML is the popular JSON Format: JSON is a readable form as request and response in web format for structuring data. It is used services. Consider the following for transiting data between server XML code: and web application.
<getDetail> [ <id>DataStructureCourse</id> "employee": { </getDetail> "id": 00987 "name": "Jack", "salary": 20000, } ] RESTful Web Services SOAP Web Services • REST defines an architectural approach REST stands for REpresentational whereas SOAP poses a restriction on the format of the XML.

It defines the standard RESTful web services try to define XML format. It also defines the way of services using the different concepts building web services. We use Web Service Definition Language (WSDL) to that are already present in HTTP. define the format of request XML and the REST is an architectural approach, response XML. not a protocol. Web Service Description Language (WSDL)
WSDL acronym for Web Service Description Language. WSDL is an
XML based interface description language. It is used for describing the functionality offered by a web service. Sometimes it is also known as the WSDL file. The extension of the WSDL file is .wsdl. It provides the machine-readable description of how the service can be called, what parameter it expects, and what data structure it returns. Elements of WSDL Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration ( UDDI )
UDDI acronym for Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration. It is an
XML-based registry for businesses word wide to list themselves on the internet. It defines a set of services supporting the description and discovery of the business, organizations, or other web service providers. The UDDI makes the services available and the technical interfaces which may be used to access those services. A UDDI works in the following manner:
• A service provider registers its business with the UDDI registry.
• A service provider registers each service separately with the UDDI registry. • The consumer looks up the business and service in the UDDI registry. • The consumer binds the service with the service provider and uses the service. The UDDI business registry system has three directories are as follows: •White Pages: The white pages contain basic information such as company name, address, phone number, and other business identifiers such as tax numbers.
•Yellow Pages: The yellow pages contain detailed business data
organized by relevant business classification. The version of the yellow page classifies business according to the newer NAICS (North American Industry Classification System).
•Green Pages: The green pages contain information about the
company's crucial business process, such as operating platform, supported programs, and other high-level business protocols. In conclusion, web services play a crucial role in facilitating seamless communication and data exchange between different applications. Their features, types, and components contribute to their interoperability, scalability, and reusability, making them an essential technology in modern software development. The use of standardized protocols ensures that web services can be widely adopted and integrated into diverse environments.
