In the battle for web service supremacy SOAP and REST have been battling for years. In my personal opinion this debate should have never existed. Yes, both forms can be used to create an interactive web service, but each form of a service was developed independent of each other to solve two different yet similar problems.

Voting down for terrible analogies. REST is like going to your GP, but SOAP is like going to a specialist? Really?

SOAP is better in one situation: you must integrate with a legacy system that only speaks SOAP. Seriously guys, these SOAP vs REST debates were interesting four years ago. REST won, and it wasn't close.
