Services in Java Devlopment
------
In Java development, services typically refer to reusable pieces of functionality that can be utilized by different parts of an application or by different applications altogether. These services can be implemented in various ways depending on the architecture and requirements of the application.
Web Services
> SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol):
A protocol for exchanging structured information in web services using XML. Java provides libraries like JAX-WS (Java API for XML Web Services) to create and consume SOAP-based web services.
> REST (Representational State Transfer):
A more lightweight alternative to SOAP, RESTful services use HTTP requests to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations. JAX-RS (Java API for RESTful Web Services)
Microservices
> Spring Boot:
A framework that simplifies the creation of stand-alone, production-grade Spring-based applications, often used to build microservices.
> Eclipse MicroProfile:
A set of specifications optimized for developing microservices in Java.
Web Application Services:
