SOAP

From Saferpedia

SOAP - Simple Object Access Protocol - is a communication protocol between computers using a network based on XML.

SOAP has three elements:

• a package defining the content of the message and the way to process it;
• a set of encoding rules;
• a convention for sending - receiving procedures.

An example of using SOAP procedures: a message is sent to a website like a real estate price website with search parameters. The website will return a XML formatted document with the wanted result (prices, location, features, etc.). Having the formatted data they can be integrated in another application or even another website.
