title = "A novel approach to mapping Web Services to rest",
abstract = "Web Services are defined by the W3C as {"}a software system designed to support interoperable machine to machine interaction over a network.{"} WS- * and Plain Old XML (POX) are popular approaches to Web Services' implementation. Both approaches can use HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) for transferring their messages and markup their RPC (Remote Procedure Call) based payloads with eXtensible Markup Language (XML). Representational State Transfer (REST) is an alternative approach that is gaining in popularity. We present the issues of XML-RPC based Web Services (XML verbosity and message opacity) and why a RESTful approach solves these issues. We present results which show the improved performance. We present a framework that translates request messages from XML-RPC to RESTful format. This framework is ideally suited to enable enterprises to gradually transition from XML-RPC to RESTful Web Services.",
