Soap and Rest Webservices

Question

I need to give a demo on the working of Soap and Rest(practical example). Could anyone help please and suggest an example using .net frame work or any other suitable ways.

Let me put it this way "I want to implement Soap and rest web services in asp.net. I need the required steps to do it"

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

A simple example that I usually use is the calculator service. This is an example Restful implementation and this is the same one using SOAP.

Answer 2

Searching in internet would help you. I wound this artticle that may help you in your presntation of pros/cons of the two.

Answer 3

WCF is smart. He can make us go. We need him. REST / SOAP endpoints for a WCF service

Answer 4

Given the fact that you're about to do a presentation, I think you want examles in terms of use cases and not technically, right?

Here are a few examples:

• Translation service
• Currency converter
