In a recent announcement, FedEx has revealed its plans to retire Web Services tracking Definition Languages (WSDLS) commonly c/a SOAP by August 31, 2024, and transition to FedEx RESTful APIs. This shift marks a significant development in the technology landscape, especially for applications like Microsoft Dynamics that rely on SOAP-based integrations with FedEx.
What are the benefits of migrating from FedEx Web Services to FedEx RESTful APIs?
- REST coupled with JSON is generally considered easier for developers to work with and offers better support for browser clients and mobile apps.
- REST protocol is generally faster and uses less bandwidth as it is not as verbose as SOAP.
- REST is stateless in design, which can be leveraged to improve application performance through caching and scalability by deploying to multiple servers without dependencies.
- REST APIs offer better versioning management that ease customer upgrades, as opposed to continuous major versions with SOAP-based WSDLs.
- FedEx APIs will have improved security through OAuth token-based authentication.
