The State of Open Web APIs

I wanted to repost a presentation that I saw on Twitter yesterday which highlights some interesting trends in the state of open web APIs across the board:

Here are some cliff notes:

• SOAP is losing marketshare to REST or SOAP's share is simply being dilluted by the avalanche of new REST APIs - the charts don't make it clear;
• JSON is on the rise;
• OAuth is surging and is now adopted by 80+ services; and
• APIs are maturing in their practices.
