  Are you aware of the REST ( REpresentational State Transfer) in the context of web service? I believe reading about REST would be the right start point. I'm quite sure the computer science experts will be able to help you here.

  REST define a place of architectural values by which you can diagram Web services that hub on a system's property, together with how resource states are addressed and transferred over HTTP by a wide range of clients written in dissimilar languages. If deliberate by the number of Web services that use it, REST has emerged in the last few years alone as a main Web service design model.

  What is resful service and why it is important for mobile based application I have heard about - JASON and XML coming under the restful services. Can anyone tell me in detail?

  That's a wonderful question you've asked. If you are into mobile apps development, you might've seen that mobile apps have to talk to storage layer using web services. The type of content that mobile users consume and create is largely unstructured consisting of documents, images, audio, video, etc.
  
  The mobile apps could use web services to talk to an application server that acts as a proxy between the mobile app and the storage layer, but that's not always the most efficient method.
  Therefore, the RESTFUL Web Services are designed to efficiently handle unstructured content for mobile and web applications and doesn't have any inherent limitations on how and where users can consume content. And it does this all securely, efficiently, and in a cost effective manner.
