| SOAP | RESTful |
|---|---|
| Heavy Weight | Light Weight |
| Highly standardized with a dedicated team looking after the specifications | Its just an archtectural style. No specific guidelines or spec |
| Slow because of High Payload and processing. Both payload and processing are related to guidelines. SOAP message(Payload) should contain all the information adhering to all the standandards(Eg: Secruity, Distirbuted nodes, Addressing etc) Hence the Message generator(client) and and its processing server need to accommadate all the code to process the guidelines. Thats the overhead while scaling. | No rules. No overhead. Note: And to be fair cant even be compared with SOAP. Since REST does not follow any guidelines. |
| Tool need to test SOAP-WS since the WSDL cannot read by any browser so far. | Browser will be sufficent but for complex requests POSTMAN is required |
| Built in error handling guidelines are to be mentioned in the message | No built in error handling is specified in the message |
| Highly secure. Independent of Transport Protocol's security | No message layer security can be achieved. Need to depend on Transport layer and Applicaiton security |
