Chapter 11. Building Services

A great deal of modern applications use HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) nowadays. This stateless, application-layer protocol allows us to exchange messages between distributed systems. The message exchange process can be observed through a client-server computing model as it happens in the form of the request-response type of messages. This allows us to easily write a service, or web service to be more specific, that triggers various operations on server and feedback data back to the client.

In this chapter, we will take a closer look at this client-server relationship through the following sections:

  • Understanding the client-server relationship
  • Working with SOAP:
    • XML extensions
    • Creating server
    • Creating WSDL file
    • Creating client
  • Working with REST:
    • JSON extensions
    • Creating server
    • Creating client
  • Working with Apache Thrift (RPC):
    • Installing Apache Thrift
    • Defining service
    • Creating server
    • Creating client
  • Understanding microservices
