Architecture styles define how different components of an application programming interface (API) interact with one another. As a result, they ensure efficiency, reliability, and ease of integration with other systems by providing a standard approach to designing and building APIs. Here are the most used styles:

🔹SOAP:
Mature, comprehensive, XML-based
Best for enterprise applications

🔹RESTful:
Popular, easy-to-implement, HTTP methods
Ideal for web services

🔹GraphQL:
Query language, request specific data
Reduces network overhead, faster responses

🔹gRPC:
Modern, high-performance, Protocol Buffers
Suitable for microservices architectures

🔹WebSocket:
Real-time, bidirectional, persistent connections
Perfect for low-latency data exchange

🔹Webhook:
Event-driven, HTTP callbacks, asynchronous
Notifies systems when events occur
