Abstract

Two styles of Web services exist today: Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) and REST. Representational State Transfer (REST) is often preferred over the more heavyweight SOAP because REST does not leverage as much bandwidth. REST’s decoupled architecture makes it a popular building style for cloud-based APIs, such as those provided by Amazon, Microsoft and Google. This chapter starts with providing technical information about RESTful Web services. Following this, RESTful design patterns for facilitating BIM-based software and Web service architectures are presented.
