Difference between WCF and Web API and WCF REST and Web Service


.Net framework has allow to create HTTP service by using three way such as Web Service,WCF and WEB API.
I am going to explain about these three HTTP Services step by step.

WCF  

What is the full form of WCF ?

 Full form of WCF is  window communication foundation.

WCF creates service oriented application and use to send data asynchronously from one end point to another end point.

Some importants points to be remember of WCF.

1.    We need to enable webHttpBindings to use wcf service
2.    It returns data in xml format and it is based on SOAP.
3.    It is the evolution of the web service(ASMX) and support various protocols like TCP, HTTP, HTTPS, Named Pipes, MSMQ
4.    It can be call by any client but not open source.
5.    It includes the chat service that allows the two people for exchanging the data.

WCF REST

1.    We need to enable webHttpBindings to use wcf service.
2.    It supports HTTP GET, HTTP POST verbs.
3.    It support XML, JSON and ATOM data format
4.    We need to do some configuration in IIS to accept request of that particular verb on .svc files.

WEB Service

1.    It returns data in xml format and it is based on SOAP.
2.    It only support HTTP service.
3.    It host on IIS server.
4.    It is not open source but can be consumed by any client that understands xml.
5.    WEB API
6.    This is a open source and build Rest-full service.
7.    It host on IIS Server.
8.    It is light weight architecture and good for devices which have limited bandwidth like smart phones.

9.    It supports the ASP.NET MVC features such as routing, controllers, action results, filter, model binders, IOC container or dependency injection, unit testing that makes it more simple and robust.

Set up Sitecore XM cloud

Working on Sitecore development projects typically involves two key steps. The first is the installation or deployment of the Sitecore instance, followed by the implementation or solution development. For those familiar with Sitecore XP/XM, deploying a vanilla Sitecore instance using tools like SIF/SIA could be time-consuming, often taking several hours due to prerequisites such as setting up Solr, SQL, and more. However, the introduction of Sitecore Experience Manager Cloud (XM Cloud) has revolutionized this process. XM Cloud serves as a fully managed, self-service deployment platform tailored for developers, effectively addressing the challenges of lengthy deployment times. It enables the deployment of a fresh Sitecore instance with a fully functional website in just a few clicks. In this blog post, I'll demonstrate how to deploy a demo website on the Sitecore XM Cloud. Subsequently, in the next blog post, I'll illustrate how effortlessly you can configure your local app deve...
