A flurry<\/a> of\n“It’s not REST vs. SOAP” comments in response to Bob McMillan’s\nlatest REST article<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

I helped Bob with that story, and I know I’m always careful to frame the\nargument as “REST vs. Web services” rather than “REST vs. SOAP”, so I apologize\nfor not communicating that point to Bob well enough. Heck, I spent all that time\non the XML Protocol WG<\/a> for a\nreason, you know; to make sure SOAP became the best darned\nPEP<\/a> replacement it could be.<\/p>\n\n

But I suppose there’s an inevitability to this confusion, since the word\n“SOAP” brings along with it an implied use, which is contrary to REST.
