What are WCF Service Endpoints?

For Windows Communication Foundation services to be consumed, it’s necessary that it must be exposed; Clients need information about service to communicate with it. This is where service endpoints play their role.

A WCF service endpoint has three basic elements i.e. Address, Binding and Contract.
Address: It defines "WHERE". Address is the URL that identifies the location of the service.
Binding: It defines "HOW". Binding defines how the service can be accessed.
Contract: It defines "WHAT". Contract identifies what is exposed by the service.
