Soup is a SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) implementation in C.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It provides an queued asynchronous callback-based mechanism for sending and
|
|
|
|
|
servicing SOAP requests, and a WSDL (Web Service Definition Language) to C
|
|
|
|
|
compiler which generates client stubs and server skeletons for easily calling
|
|
|
|
|
and implementing SOAP methods.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It uses the Glib main loop and is designed to work well with GTK
|
|
|
|
|
applications. This enables GNOME applications to access SOAP servers
|
|
|
|
|
on the network in a completely asynchronous fashion, very similar to the
|
|
|
|
|
Gtk+ programming model (a synchronous operation mode is also supported
|
|
|
|
|
for those who want it).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The WSDL compiler will help you make your applications interoperate
|
|
|
|
|
with services that expose their descriptions through WSDL.
