<?php

// SOAP (parameters as inputs to a function)
$client = new SoapClient('http://example.com/soap?wsdl', true);
$result = $client->call('getPeople', array('name' => 'Foo'));

// REST (parameters as filters on a collection)
$resource = new Resource('http://example.com/people/', array('name' => 'Foo'));
$result = $resource->get('json');
