## Chapter 16. Zend_Service

## 16.1. Introduction

`Zend_Service` is an abstract class which serves as a foundation for web service implementations (e.g. XML-RPC).

`Zend_Service` offers support for any REST-based web service through `Zend_Service_Rest`.

In addition to being able to extend the `Zend_Service` and use `Zend_Service_Rest` for REST-based web services, Zend also provides support for popular web services such as Amazon, Flickr, and Yahoo!. More may be added in the near future.
