Google’s Gaffe

Paul Prescod on Google’s API. Paul’s an advocate of the REST approach over RPC-based interfaces like SOAP. I don’t buy into his argument that SOAP is an “inferior” technology, but I will say that you can’t beat REST for ease of implementation and adoption. Not all developers are necessarily programmers, and RPC is a very, um, programmery thing. But URIs are something everyone groks, and it just takes so much less glue. Talk about yer lightweight protocols. (Plus, one wonders who, if anyone, will end up owning SOAP in the end.) I’m sure I’m way oversimplying the issue.
