Web Service

What is a Web Service?

The W3C defines a Web Service as a software system designed to support inter-operable machine to machine interaction over a network. Web services are frequently just API's that can be accessed over a network, and executed on a remote system hosting the requested services.

Among the many ways devised to enable humans to use software running on distant computers, HTML transported over HTTP and presented via a web browser is surely the most successful yet. By using this relatively simple, accessible message format, applications can be used by people all over the world without installing custom client software on their computers.
