Hi,

You can check this provided by kushalrdalal to get the difference between soap and rest.

In summary, SOAP is a XML based messaging protocol and REST is not a protocol but an architectural style;

SOAP has a standard specification but there is none for REST, so that we can consume a soap service with "Add Service Reference" option, but it not work for restful service, you can WebChannelFactory<T> to create a client to talk to the service;

SOAP uses interfaces and named operations to expose business logic. REST uses (generally) URI and methods like (GET, PUT, POST, DELETE) to expose resources. Below are references which include with an example.
