What is SOAP APIs?

SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) is a messaging protocol specification for exchanging structured information in the implementation of web services in computer networks. It relies on XML for its message format, and often uses other application layer protocols such as HTTP or SMTP for transmission. SOAP allows applications running on disparate operating systems, with different technologies and programming languages to communicate. It is typically used to create, retrieve, update, and delete records, amongst other data management and exchange operations.
