Join David Gassner for an in-depth discussion in this video What is SOAP?, part of Programming Foundations: Web Services.
When it was first introduced, SOAP was an acronym for Simple Object Access Protocol.…It was later named to just SOAP.…But this simple abbreviation represented a huge advance in the world of web services.…As I've previously described, SOAP is an XML-based language…that represents request and response messages between clients and servers.…SOAP was developed for Microsoft…in the late 1990's by a group of developers led by Dave Winer.…And since 2000, has been managed by the WorldWide Web Consortium or the W3C.…
It's the foundational technology underlying a whole…set of specifications known as the WS standards.…And is the critical glue binding together web service…tool kits for many operating systems and programming languages.…SOAP had three major goals in its development.…First, extensibility.…Unlike some XML languages, SOAP doesn't…target a specific type of business process.…Instead, like a programming language, it's designed to handle whatever…processes and data types are required for the job at hand.…
Second, neutrality.…
