Web API
Web API is a development in Web services (in a movement called Web 2.0) where emphasis has been moving away from SOAP based services towards representational state transfer (REST) based communications. REST services do not require XML, SOAP, or WSDL service-API definitions.
Web APIs allow the combination of multiple Web services into new applications known as mashups.
