What is SOAP?
Created by Microsoft in 1998 / W3C Standard
Protocol Agnostic / Common to use HTTP
RPC Message Pattern (Request/Response)
XML Schema used for Message Structures
SOAP Request Message Format
SOAP Envelope
SOAP Body
Method and Parameters
SOAP Response Message Format
SOAP Envelope
SOAP Body
Response Xml
SOAP Considerations
• All Versions of SharePoint• Ubiquitous• Protocol Agnostic• Language Agnostic
• Access to Enterprise Services
• Designed to work with Proxy• Not JavaScript Friendly• Verbose Xml Data• No Anonymous

What is the CSOM?
Proprietary Microsoft SharePoint Client API
.NET / Silverlight / WP7 / ECMAScript
Mimics Server-side Object Model
Proprietary Message Transfer Format
CSOM Architecture
CSOM Considerations
• Efficient for Batch Operations• Familiar for SharePoint
Developers• Supports LINQ Queries• Works with Anonymous
• Less Efficient for Simple Operations• Unfamiliar to Web
Developers• Limited # of Client Runtimes• Microsoft Proprietary
Context and Authentication (.NET)
Default isWindows
Authentication
CSOM (ECMAScript)
Create a Context
Load the Context
Execute Async Query
Access Properties
CSOM (.NET)
Create a Context
Load the Context
Execute Query
Access Properties
CSOM Request
Protocol is documented, but you don’t want to be
hand-tooling these requests
Client Library Assemblies
* Silverlight located at:
/15/Template/Layouts/Client
.NET assemblies found under
/15/ISAPI
Client Components SDK
Installs all client runtime
components

What is REST?
Representational State Transfer
Web Addressable Resources / Hyperlink-able
Maps CRUD operations with HTTP Verbs
Commonly uses JSON for Data Messages

• Less Efficient for Simple Operations• Unfamiliar to Web
Developers• Limited # of Client Runtimes• Microsoft Proprietary
