Web API
Web API is a development in Web services (in a movement called Web 2.0) where emphasis has been moving away from SOAP based services towards representational state transfer (REST) based communications. REST services do not require XML, SOAP, or WSDL service-API definitions.
Web APIs allow the combination of multiple Web services into new applications known as mashups.

Famous quotes containing the word web:
“Being so wrong about her makes me wonder now how often I am utterly wrong about myself. And how wrong she might have been about her mother, how wrong he might have been about his father, how much of family life is a vast web of misunderstandings, a tinted and touched-up family portrait, an accurate representation of fact that leaves out only the essential truth.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
