WSDL – SOAP web service specification
WSDL (abbreviation for Web Services Description Language) is an XML-based language that enables the description of web services and the interface for using them. The access interfaces of services are described using the XML language.
The abstract definition of location and operations is separated from the concrete instance, that is, the implementation of the service. This enables the reuse of those definitions. These interfaces are described by the data that we divide into: • service interface definition: it contains a description of the data type, a description of the SOAP request and response structures, and a description of the operations that the service access interface contains. A WSDL document is written using the XML language, where the root element is wsdl:definitions. The interface definition refers to the first three subelements (wsdl:types, wsdl:message, wsdl:portTypes) of this root element. • the definition of the implementation of the service interface: it contains a description of the communication rules using real communication protocols. Applies to wsdl:binding and wsdl:service elements.
