I regret to inform you that SOAP's death has been limited to open source. Enterprise continues to eat it up.
- DeathArrow 7y agoYou can even do much more complex things using SOAP, but Rest is much easier to learn and use, so a junior programmer can pick it up in days or hours. People dislike having to make efforts.
- shawnz 7y agoIn my experience, SOAP has poor tooling compared to REST and nobody implements it properly. Given that, it's not really more powerful than REST in practice.
- Bombthecat 7y agoNot more powerful. More standarized. Wss for example.
- shawnz 7y agoWell none the less, the standard doesn't help if nobody follows it. Since REST is less prescriptive, the tooling is generally more tolerant of all the funny implementations out there. At least, that's what I've found.
- DrScientist 7y agoAre you talking RPC or true REST? Don't understand what I ask - look here http://greglturnquist.com/2016/05/03/rest-soap-corba-e-got/ http://greglturnquist.com/2016/05/03/rest-soap-corba-e-got/
