    REST API : It supports both XML and JSON format and preferred for mobile and web apps since JSON being lighter the app runs smoother and faster. It has no specific official standards because it is considered as a style of architecture.
    SOAP API : It supports data in the form of XML only and requires WSDL for the integration. We can use SOAP API in any language that supports web services. It has official standards as it has protocols.
