Tags: Mashup | Website development

In web development, a mashup is a Web application that combines data or functionality from two or more sources into a single integrated application.

The term mashup implies easy, fast integration, frequently done by access to open APIs and data sources to produce results that were not the original reason for producing the raw source data.

An example of a mashup is the use of cartographic data from Google Maps to add location information to real estate data, thereby creating a new and distinct Web service that was not originally provided by either source.
