Similarly, the overall architecture of FIG Firstly SOAP implementations, as shown below:
Figure 3. SOAP implementation architecture
It can be seen compared to the REST architecture, SOAP architecture diagram obvious difference is: all of the SOAP message uses HTTP POST method and URI all SOAP messages are the same, which is the basic practice SOAP-based Web services feature.
Restful Web Services Architecture
Firstly, the overall architecture of Web services using REST-style drawing to achieve, as shown below:
