Hello All,
I am new to web services and trying to wrap my head around these two types.
I understand that
SOAP is protocol based where as REST is an architectural style. SOAp uses XML for its envelope and REST can use XML and JSON's
My confusion/ gray area:
like in SOAP, we can view all the available web methods and there required parameters (to be passed) that are available using the ?WSDL (putting it at the end of the web service URL ). is there a similar way for REST web services.
if i want to see all the web services methods available under a service URL for RESTFUL services what should i be doing ?
another question: I was able to
test the some of the web-services in soap using SoapUI however if i need to verify or test RestFul web-services what tool am i suppose to be using ?
any help in making this easier for me to understand is highly appreciated.
