A web service is a software system designed to support machine-to-machine interaction over a network, typically using standardized protocols like SOAP or REST over HTTP with data formats such as XML or JSON. Web services allow different applications, often built in different languages or on different platforms, to exchange data and functionality, and are a core building block for developers integrating distributed systems.
