Web Service

Return to Glossary

Web Service is a software service used to communicate between two devices on a network.

More specifically, a Web service is a software application with a standardized way of providing interoperability between disparate applications. It does so over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) using technologies such as XML, Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), WSDL, and UDDI.
