The S stands for Simple

I’ve been out of the SOAP vs. REST debate for a while, but Pete Lacey’s “The S stands for Simple” post just has to be mentioned. For XML geeks who’ve been constantly been annoyed with the abomination that is SOAP/WSDL/UDDI it’s quite amusing. I’ll be so happy the day that SOAP is finally dead. Of course coming along right behind it will be another bloated, horribly complex and completely unnecessary vendor designed technology to do the exact same thing. After all, if it’s actually simple enough for average developers to understand then there’s no market for tools and that’s something we just can have now can we.
