Abstract

Android mobile devices and Web services are becoming very popular. As android devices and wireless technologies continue to rapidly grow over a short span of period, Web services technology recognizes mobile computing as an area to which it should expand. Web service can greatly increase the functionality of Android devices to interact with its environment. In this paper, the performance is analyzed for two of the most important approaches used for building and implementing Web services for an android based mobile devices i. e. SOAP-based Web services and RESTful Web services. REST services is identified by unique URI's (Uniform Resource Identifier) and accessed and manipulated using set of predefined methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE on the other side SOAP is XML based protocol for the decentralized, distributed environment, that use the power of the Internet. The experimental results show that RESTful web services outperform SOAP web services.
