Although there is no universally accepted definition of web service, it has been generally accepted that web service is a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) with two additional constraints. They are - Interfaces must be based on Internet protocols such as HTTP, FTP and SMTP and that all messages must be in XML, except in case of binary data attachment.

The big advantage of web service is its ability to provide a standard means of interoperating between different software applications, running on a variety of platforms and/or frameworks. What distinguishes web services is its great interoperability and extensibility. Today, most of the distributed computing systems use web services to interact with old systems, using particular protocol format. These can be combined in a loosely coupled way in order to achieve complex operations.
