WSDL (Web Services Description Language) documents are XML-based files that are used to describe the functionality of a web service. Developer tools can parse and read these files to generate code and configure a programming environment for the web service. SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) is a higher-level protocol that uses XML for exchanging structured information between systems. JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is also used for transmitting data between systems, but its metadata is not as well-suited for validating the format and completeness of a document as XML.
