Exposing Services from SharePoint

SharePoint provides Web services for basic administrative functions and for access to SharePoint lists. In cases where the built-in services are insufficient, you can implement custom service layers to expose the content. For example, you can provide better document management or more secure list access.

This section contains the following subsections:

• Exposing WCF Services from SharePoint
• Exposing ASMX Services from SharePoint
• Choosing Between WCF and ASMX
