Performance & Implementation Best Practices for Information Passing Through Web Services
Abstract
Data interchange between different
web applications and web-services becomes
more and more common. Not only to send or
receive data from another service or
application but also to reuse modules and webservice
functionality from one application to
another. There are many standards and
protocols available today to use when building
web-services. This research will only focus on
three of them which all represent some of the
most common implementations when building
web-services of today. These are XML-RPC,
SOAP and REST. They have differences
between each other but can perform the same
tasks for a web-service. They are examined
through performance and implementation
issues, benchmarking as well as interviews.
The result reveals performance issues for
XML-RPC as well as how complex SOAP can
be for inexperienced users. In addition it also
reveals why REST is gaining popularity
recently.
