title: SOAP to REST conversion : Fresh or reuse?
body: <p>My team has been tasked with converting our application's existing SOAP API to REST. My preference is to re-write the API from scratch (reusing only the actual business logic that each operation performs). Others in my team want to just have REST as a wrapper over the existing SOAP. Meaning we would expose REST services but when a request comes in our application would internally call the existing SOAP operations.</p>
  
  <p>Could you please offer suggestions on which of these is the best approach? It looks like my way is cleaner and lighter and faster but their way allows some code re-use.</p>
