Abstract
This document defines the "application/soap+xml" media type which can
be used to describe SOAP 1.2 messages serialized as XML.
1. Introduction
SOAP version 1.2 (SOAP) is a lightweight protocol intended for
exchange of structured information between peers in a decentralized,
distributed environment. It defines an extensible messaging framework
that contains a message construct based on XML technologies that can
be exchanged over a variety of underlying protocols.
This specification defines the media type "application/soap+xml"
which can be used to identify SOAP 1.2 message envelopes that have
been serialized with XML 1.0. Such serializations are useful as the
basis "wire formats" for SOAP 1.2 Protocol Binding Specifications
[SOAP12P1], or in other situations where an XML serialization of a
SOAP envelope is required.
2. Registration
The registration form can be found in Appendix A of the "SOAP 1.2
Part 2: Adjuncts" [SOAP12P2] specification.
