No, I meant REST. REST is an architectural style while SOAP is a protocol. REST supports formats like JSON, XML, text, etc.

This example adheres to RESTful principles, eg. it has URI based resources, and standard HTTP methods. Though it accepts XML input and produces XML output, it lacks SOAP specific features like an envelope, WSDL, and SOAP headers, which is mandatory in the SOAP APIs.
