Liferay exposes most of its functionality via WebServices. It supports both SOAP and REST+JSON style services. The choice is yours as to which way to go.

Here are links to Liferay documentation which should help you get started:

1. JSON: https://www.liferay.com/community/wiki/-/wiki/Main/JSON+Web+Services
2. SOAP: https://www.liferay.com/documentation/liferay-portal/6.1/development/-/ai/soap-web-services

Hope this helps!
