Re: Why use SOAP?

If I understood correctly, REST isn't really a technology, it's more like a design approach to web APIs. While SOAP tries to solve everything inside SOAP itself, REST means you rely on existing mechanisms (URLs, HTTP) as much as possible.

I wouldn't be surprised if KDE will choose REST eventually, just like DCOP was developed on top of existing mechanisms (ICE) when CORBA turned out to be too complicated.

Absolutely correct. Rest is what you do when tired you are. Soap is what you use when bath you take.
