Few days back, one of my team member asked me – Which one should I use? SOAP or REST? I believe this is a very fundamental question, but definitely a very very important one because it will define your project’s success.If you want to learn more about REST, please have a look at this one – really good starting point – “How I explained REST to my wife?”To know more about Salesforce Integration using SOAP API, please check -Salesforce Integration with SOAP APIWe should not compare SOAP and REST as they can’t be compared directly.
