Links against SOAP

This is a page of links against SOAP (the originally called “Simple Object Access Protocol”). Like other pages here, it is not meant to imply that SOAP is necessarily bad, just as a way to collect the various resources which voiced reservations from it, and which I encountered.

• “The S stands for Simple” on Peter Lacey’s Weblog. (Local mirror.)

• REST vs. WS-* (SOAP): A Parable

• Ido Kanner: “Washing the soap” - in Hebrew.

• Old Joel on Software post about SOAP

• “Don’t Be Afraid to Drop the SOAP” on Perl.com, by Sam Tregar.

• “Why is SOAP distasteful?” section of a blog post - by mvuets.

• Geek and Poke: “Service Calling Made Easy Part 1”.

• “Simplicity and Utility, or, Why SOAP Lost” - via tocode.co.il.
