How different is mashup from screenscraping and consuming webservices


From what I understand, Mashup is aggregating data from separate sources and providing a single view. How different is mashup when compared to screenscraping or using webservices to get data from external sources?


Solution

  • Mashup = combining data

    Screenscraping = one way (the hard way) to get data

    Webservice = another way to get data
