SOAP is fully standardised, highly secure, supports strong enterprise-level transactions and WS-* extensions, and guarantees message integrity, making it essential for regulatory-heavy, B2B, or legacy enterprise systems. REST is lighter and better suited to new, web-based APIs. Choose SOAP for compliance, ACID, or established contracts.
