SOAP

Summary

SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) is a protocol used for exchanging structured information in web services, primarily using XML as its format.

Detailed Description

SOAP is a messaging protocol that enables communication between applications over the internet. It operates over various protocols such as HTTP, SMTP, TCP, or JMS. SOAP messages contain an envelope that defines the message structure, a header for optional attributes, and a body that carries the main content of the message. It was designed to be platform and language agnostic, allowing for interoperability between different systems.
