SOAP APIs

SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) APIs are a protocol for exchanging structured information in web services across diverse systems. They use XML for message formatting and rely on other application layer protocols, typically HTTP or SMTP, for message negotiation and transmission. SOAP APIs are known for their robustness and standardization, providing a way for applications to communicate over the web with a high degree of security and transactional reliability. They support complex operations and are widely used in enterprise environments due to their strong adherence to standards and ability to handle complex transactions and security needs.
