What is the purpose of API? How REST and SOAP APIs differ ?
Akriti Tiwari Answered question September 19, 2024
APIs are used to integrate new applications with existing software systems. This increases development speed because each functionality doesn’t have to be written from scratch. You can use APIs to leverage existing code.
The SOAP API exposes functions or operations, while REST APIs are data-driven. For example, consider an application with employee data that other applications can manipulate. The application’s SOAP API could expose a function called CreateEmployee.
