This is an interesting blog and may answer your question very well.

API described in Salesforce documentation above.
SOAP API
1)Supports data in the form of XML only 2)Requires WSDL for the integration 3)Use SOAP API in any language that supports Web services.
REST API 1)Supports both XML and JSON format 2)Preferred for mobile and web apps since JSON being Lighter the app runs smoother and faster
You can also use Apex SOAP and REST Web services to expose data from platform or allow an external application to invoke Apex methods.
You may want to refer to the Apex guide to learn more about this.
