Why is REST an architecture style whereas SOAP is considered as a protocol? Please explain.
Architecture is about high level design. REST is an example of that because it is only a set of design guidelines like that your API should be stateless. It doesn't tell you exactly what language to use or what your code should look like.
Other examples of architectural questions are
How should my modules communicate?
How should I structure my data?
What guiding principles can I apply?
Non examples are:
What is the name of the function that allocates memory?
Do I use i++ or ++i?

What is Swift µframework or µframework in general? Apparently Google gives only examples of those frameworks, but doesn't provide any clear explanation of what it is.
In this context, "µframework" is short for "microframework", which really just means a very small framework which adds a specific small piece of functionality.
The canonical example of this is Result, which adds just a single type to the Swift system.
Contrast with frameworks like Alamofire or RxSwift, which add a whole suite of functionality around a particular area.

I am trying to display the resources and associated subresources of a restful API I am working with (https://api.lendingclub.com/api/investor//). If resources aren't documented, is there any way to find them?
There presently is not a standard way to discover restful API operations like there is with WSDL based soap web services.
Documentation from the API provider is the best way to learn.

I know this as been asked but couldn't find an answer that I understand...
Some people told me about the main thing are sagas, but it doesn't look such a big advantage to make me spend my bucks on NServiceBus when I already have MSMQ....
That's a little bit like asking "why do I need ASP.NET MVC when I already have HTTP?"... a little tongue-in-cheek, but still with a lot of truth in it.
NServiceBus gives you message serialization, a sensible threading model, routing, and several ready-to-use messaging patterns out of the box.
MSMQ gives you... message queues! And a fairly complicated API with many low level options that give you no real pit of succes...

I am starting to learn how to build rest Web service (I come from soap web service).
I'm an intermediate scala programer. I'd like to know as of now, what is the most widespread framework for building Restful Service. But i would also appreciate personal opinion on what is the easiest to use for the task of solely building rest api/web-service, very fast, with a not so complicate learning curve.
Many thanks,
-M-
Play, Scalatra and Spray are all good choices with a reasonable learning curve.
You'll have to look at these (and others), then decide which fits best with your own preferences. It's a very subjective question and there are too many variables for anyone to be able to give a definitive answer.

i am creating an iphone app, can someone suggest some framework to handle api calls to server (i am using coreData for my model)
there is one framework, restkit. but it requires backend to have a very specific format
is there any other framework/set of classes which can be easily customized?
It's difficult to answer your question without knowing what sort of API you want to communicate with; does it follow some relatively well-known and well-defined structure? If not, there probably won't be a framework for it and you'll have to roll your own communication code. Looking into the ASIHTTPRequest library would be a good starting point if this is the case.
