Kate Rhodes: XML-RPC vs SOAP   Message List

RE: [soapbuilders] Kate Rhodes: XML-RPC vs SOAP

The article’s comment re: short learning curve should be clarified in my opinion.

 

The learning curve for a SOAP *implementor* is certainly not short, but the complexities of SOAP should be completely hidden from a regular developer by whatever web services platform they are using. If the review is being written for an audience of general developers, then I would argue that many web services platforms already make the learning curve for SOAP very small.

 

Cheers,

graham

Kate Rhodes: XML-RPC vs SOAP [1]. This is an excellent review, and hopefully
will start a thorough, independent and objective evaluation of the two
protocols that form the basis of Web Services technology.

Ah, the minute you see the phrase "Big Co.", you know there's a bias. Things missing from Rhodes's review that I would have mentioned include: SOAP allows...
