redbrad0 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I have been using a XML Based API for my website to talk with the desktop applications. Would there be any benefit of switching it to SOAP? Security? Speed? Easier on servers?

flyhoney Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 SOAP is a protocal implemented using XML over HTTP I believe. I doubt there is much of a speed difference. The beauty of SOAP is abstraction. You can abstract methods and datatypes for many different languages. There is more configuration with SOAP, but the code is typically easier (if you are using a SOAP class like nusoap) to write.
