4.9. Web Service

A web service is a way of making two applications communicate over the web. A web service consists of a set of tools to achieve this aim. There are two types of web service: REST-compliant ones, (the purpose of which is to manipulate XML representations of web resources) and arbitrary Web services (through which the service can expose any operation).
