In an API-driven world dominated by REST and JSON, there’s an often-overlooked layer of infrastructure that still powers the most critical systems in the world — from international banking and airline ticketing to legal and government platforms. This foundation is built on XML standards: This tech concept walks you through these technologies in logical order, showing how they interact…
In a world driven by JSON, RESTful APIs, and real-time data pipelines, you’d think XML would be obsolete. But behind the scenes of industries that require security, structure, and reliability—like banking and aviation—XML is still king. From SWIFT messages in finance to flight bookings via SOAP-based APIs, XML remains the backbone of mission-critical communication protocols used every day by global banks and airlines. This…
XML is still widely used in systems like APIs, enterprise applications, legacy databases, and even cloud data exchange formats. When you’re building enterprise-grade applications, working with XML isn’t optional—it’s inevitable. Mastering it is key to seamless integration, data exchange, and long-term scalability. But when you’re dealing with large XML files—hundreds of MBs or even multiple GBs—your…
When building a web service, one of the first decisions you’ll need to make is choosing between REST and SOAP—the two primary protocols for communication between applications. In my 18+ year enterprise building application, both protocols allow us to exchange data over networks, they have distinct differences in terms of architecture, flexibility, and use cases.…
Web services are the backbone of many applications, enabling communication between different systems over the internet. With over 18 years of enterprise-building experience, I’ve worked hands-on with every aspect of web services throughout my tech career. From hotel bookings to mobile employee attendance updates to sending alerts on messaging app, web services drive these critical…
