    Web services are standardized methods of communication between different software applications over the internet. They enable interoperability among various systems, often utilizing open protocols such as HTTP, XML, SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol), and REST (Representational State Transfer). Web services allow for the exchange of data and functionality between disparate systems, regardless of the underlying technology stack or programming language used. By providing a way for applications to communicate with each other in a platform-independent manner, web services facilitate the integration of different services, enhancing the capabilities of applications and improving overall efficiency. Common examples of web services include APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) that allow developers to access functionalities or data from external systems, such as social media platforms, payment gateways, and cloud services.
