Interoperability tests with different implementations: Apache SOAP, Apache Axis, Frontier, Microsoft SOAP, Microsoft .NET, DevelopMentor, XMethods, 4s4c, Phalanx, PocketSOAP, Kafka, SQLData, Lucin (in Java, Perl, C++, Python, VB, COM, XSLT).
Provides COM interface. Single dll (standalone [2.5MB] or minimal [32kB]). Works on Windows 9x/Me/NT/2K. Doesn't require ROPE or MSXML. Examples in VB, Excel/VBA, C#, ASP, JavaScript, PerlScript and Perl.
Provides transparent compression support for HTTP transport.
Provides mod_soap module. Make SOAP server with a few lines in .htaccess or .conf file.
Includes XML::Parser::Lite (regexp-based XML parser) which runs instead of XML::Parser where Perl 5.6 runs (even on WinCE) with some limitations.
