Performance Comparison and Analysis of Power Quality Web Services Based on REST and SOAP

REST based Web services and SOAP based Web services are two of the most mainstream forms of Web services. The performance of these two services is lack of detailed comparative analysis. In this paper, the power quality application is combined with these two kinds of Web services to realize the sharing of power quality data. Performance tests are performed on power quality Web services interfaces based on REST and SOAP, including stress tests, functional tests, and security tests. The results show that the performance of the REST services is better than that of the SOAP services in particular in real-time response capabilities.
