Representational State Transfer (REST) is a modern and easy way to consume a web service without using the SOAP or WSDL protocols. By just using the query string for retrieve operations using the GET method of the HTTP protocol and the POST method for add, DELETE method for delete, and PUT method for update operations, you can quickly get the data you want in XML format without having to create any special proxy client as you would do it with SOAP.
