Why Web Services?

A few years ago, the speed of web services was not fast enough to attract people's interest.

Thanks to the efforts of major IT developers in recent years, most people and enterprises have access to broadband connections and are increasingly using the web.

The most important thing is collaboration

Since all major platforms can be accessed through web browsers to access the web, different platforms can interact with each other. To make these platforms work together, web applications have been developed.

Web applications are simple applications running on the Web. They are built around Web browser standards and can be used by any browser on any platform.

Web services take Web applications to another level

By using Web services, your application can publish features or messages worldwide.

Web services use XML to encode and decode data, and use SOAP to transmit data through open protocols.

Through Web services, your accounting department's Win 2k server can be connected to the UNIX server of the IT supplier.

Web services have two types of applications

Reusable Application Components

There are some functions that different applications often use. Then why go through the trouble of developing them repeatedly?

Web services can provide application components as services, such as currency conversion, weather forecast, or even language translation, etc.

Ideally, each application component should have only one superior version, so that anyone can use it in their application.

Connecting Existing Software

By providing a way for different applications to link their data, Web services help solve collaborative work issues.

By using Web services, you can exchange data between different applications and platforms.
