<prompt> Hlalosa litšobotsi tsa mantlha tsa tšebeletso ea webo.nan  <response>: Instruction in English: Outline the main characteristics of a web service. . Response in English: A web service is a software system designed to support interoperable machine-to-machine interaction over a network. Some of the main characteristics of a web service are:1. Platform Independent: Web services can operate on any platform regardless of the language or operating system, as long as they adhere to the SOAP Simple Object Access Protocol and XML eXtensible Markup Language standards.2. Interoperability: Web services being platform independent, allows for interoperability between applications, regardless of the language or platform they were written in.3. Self-Contained and Self-Describing: A web service is self-contained and self-describing, meaning that it provides all the information about itself that is needed to interact with it.4. XML-Based: Web services use XML to encode data, issues requests, and format responses. XML is widely used as a data exchange format, because it is self-describing, platform-independent and human-readable.5. Uses Standard Protocols: Web services are built using standard internet protocols like HTTP and SMTP to communicate with clients, making it easier to integrate into existing systems.6. Loosely Coupled: Web services are designed to be loosely coupled, meaning that they are independent of each other and can be accessed without any knowledge of the underlying implementation. This allows for flexibility and ease of integration with other systems.7. Reusable: Web services are designed to be reusable and can be accessed by multiple applications to perform common functions, reducing development time and cost. .
