API v1
What's API v1?
API v1 is the first version of Lemonway's API. The API v2, more recent, is a REST API.
SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) and REST (Representational State Transfer) are two different architectural styles for designing networked applications. They are commonly used to enable communication between software components, systems, or services over a network.
A SOAP API is a standardized communication protocol that allows applications from different computing systems to communicate with each other. It typically uses XML as the message format and can be transported via protocols like HTTP. SOAP APIs messages are typically formatted in XML which makes them human-readable and machine-processable, facilitating automated processing.
SOAP APIs were widely used in the past, REST-based APIs have become more popular in recent years due to their simplicity and adaptability to many modern use cases. However, there are still many systems that use SOAP API. SOAP is often used in enterprise-level applications where security and ACID-compliance (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) are critical.
On the other hand, REST is commonly used in web-based, and mobile applications due to its simplicity, scalability, and wide compatibility with different data formats. A REST API is an architectural style for designing networked applications. It leverages existing protocols, typically HTTP, to structure and interact with resources.
