Abstract
In addition to developing a stand-alone web application, it is possible to connect to other web applications to simplify processing the user’s data. Such a web application is known as a web service. For instance, there are services for calculating shipping costs, for accepting online payments and for finding maps. These services are not designed to interface with a user, but rather to interact with other web applications.
