Record details and sources

Overview

SOAP, or Simple Object Access Protocol, is a messaging protocol that allows programs running on disparate operating systems to communicate using Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and its Extensible Markup Language (XML). It is a foundational technology for web services and enables the sending and receiving of data between client and server applications.
