SOAP is wrong, have a REST

There is nothing simple about SOAP anymore. The "simple" part of the SOAP acronym is just a joke. I find the REST idea very appealing. It's very simple, if you want to:

• get information about something you do a HTTP GET to a object-specific URL, which returns XML;
• create or update something you do a HTTP POST with the new information in XML;
• delete something you do a HTTP DELETE.

It's very simple, and requires no new technology to implement. For the original idea, click here.
