What is the SOAP encodings ?
The envelope specified the encoding for the body as
http://www.wwww.org/soap/encoding/. This is a method for
structuring the request that is suggested within the SOAP spec itself, known as the
SOAP serialization.
It's worth noting that one of the biggest technical complaints against SOAP is that it
mixes a specification for message transport with a specification for message structure.
You needn't feel constrained to use the SOAP serialization encoding style.
Other possible encoding styles include Web Distributed Data Exchange (WDDX), XML
Remote Procedure Call (XML-RPC), Resource Description Framework (RDF), or just a
custom XML structure. The latter is probably good enough if you're not worried about
whether an attribute value of "1" is supposed to be interpreted as a string or an integer,
for example. See Resources for information on these encoding styles.
