The JavaScript SOAP library is a tool used for implementing Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) in web applications. It facilitates communication between different applications and servers using web protocols.
One of the most significant improvements you'll notice right away is the example WSDL file that comes with the library. This file is designed to show you the capabilities of SOAPjs and also help you compare it to other libraries available. Additionally, SOAPjs no longer supports asynchronous use as a function option. Rather, it uses closures to achieve this, offering better control over the entire SOAP development process.
Another tool to consider when using SOAPjs is wsdldoc. This is a python program that generates documentation based on your WSDL file, providing reference information for an experienced programmer. While it may not be the best documentation tool, if your WSDL file is written correctly, it can at least provide some useful information in HTML format. Note that you will need PyXML to use wsdldoc.
Overall, SOAPjs is an excellent library to consider if you're in the market for a SOAP development tool. Its features and benefits make it stand out, and the improvements over older libraries are enough to ensure that it is worth your time and effort. Plus, with the help of wsdldoc, you can quickly create useful reference documentation to help you and others on your team.
