While iwas using soap before I introduced to rest web services. It's very easy to use this service to get and post the data to the server. Most important thing is that we just need to use the url of exposed rest service to interact with our database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The downside of this rest service that I think is that it's not tracking which user hit the request for the data. It just need to url to interact with the api service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used REST web services in Outsystems and for using a rest web service we do not require any external system to get and post the data. We can simply consume the API using REST. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
