The service is defined in a platform-neutral discovery document, which can be used by any provider:
https://developers.google.com/discovery/v1/reference/apis https://developers.google.com/discovery/v1/reference/apis
There are generators for Python, Java, .NET, Objective-C, PHP, Go, GWT, Node.js, Ruby, and others.

- jordanthoms 12y agoWell, at least the underlying API is much simpler - you can do things manually if necessary. Trying to talk to WCF SOAP services from Ruby has been really painful - none of the SOAP libraries actually work with the Microsoft stuff, and it's so overcomplicated that making requests manually is a pain.
- LunaSea 12y agoBecause SOAP is an unnecessary overhead and complication. It also kills performance.
- bluefinity 12y agoBecause everybody's SOAP implementation is subtly different, leading to bugs/pain/things not working.
