In the middle of 2000, SOAP - an XML-based messaging protocol - started to rise in popularity as a communication protocol for distributed computing. 

But Web services, APIs over HTTP, are more popular than ever.

JSON started replacing XML as a serialization technology.

Developers needed a way to provide data to mobile clients. 

This was simple enough using many Web frameworks: look something up in a database, 

return the rows in a serialized format. Accept POSTs of the same kind of data.

Now, contrast that to using JSON over HTTP, with a slightly more RESTful orientation. 

The request for the customer record is an HTTP GET:

GET /customers/43456 HTTP/1.1
Host: www.example.org

And the response:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8

{‘Customer’: ‘Foobar Quux, inc’}
