web services
Internet-delivered software solutions
Web services are software systems designed to support machine-to-machine interaction over a network, typically the Internet.
They allow different applications to communicate with each other regardless of the programming languages or platforms they use.
A website might use web services to pull weather data, process payments, or verify addresses—all by making requests to external systems that return structured data.
The term encompasses various technical approaches including REST APIs and SOAP protocols.
