Hi Aditya,
SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) is a web service architecture, which specifies the basic rules to be considered while designing web service platforms. It typically uses HTTP as a layer 7 protocol .It is based on the standard XML format, designed especially to transport and store structured data between two applications.
REST(Representational State Transfer) is another web services interface for interacting with Salesforce. It support both JSON and XML formats.
and various methods like Get, set, Put , Post, Patch.
