/“xml is like violence, if it’s not working just use more!”
- rcxdude 1y agoIf it was some vaguely sensibly defined XML, it wouldn't be quite as bad. But it's a ludicrously over-complicated mapping between the service definition and the underlying XML, often auto-generated by a bunch of not very well designed nor compatible tooling.
- dragonwriter 1y ago> It’s been a while but isn’t soap just xml over http-post? No. SOAP uses that, but SOAP involves a whole lot of spec about how you do that, and that's even before (as the article seems to) treat SOAP as meaning SOAP + the set of WS-* standards built around it.
