Force.com API Simplifies Custom Integrations
What makes the rapid development of custom solutions possible is the Force.com API, which uses the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) to communicate with Web services by passing XML-encoded data over the Internet. Because almost all programming languages can create and consume SOAP messages, developers don’t need to know any details about coding in XML—it is handled by their development environments.
