Hello all,

I want to know is this anything different from plain web services?
Do i need to take care of something addtional while writing WSAPI as compared to writting plain Web service.

Please tell me if there is any difference between Web services and Web service APIs.

Thank,
Nagendra.

Web API is a development in Web services (in a movement called Web 2.0) where emphasis has been moving away from SOAP based services towards Representational State Transfer (REST) based communications.[3] REST services do not require XML, SOAP, or WSDL service-API definitions.
