gSOAP Toolkit
The gSOAP toolkit is an extensive suite of portable C and C++ software to develop XML Web services with powerful type-safe XML data bindings. The easy to
use XML auto-serialization allows you to directly integrate XML data in C and C++ (C++11 compatible) applications. It includes WSDL/XSD schema binding and
auto-coding tools, stub/skeleton compiler, Web servers (with SSL), integrated XML processing with schema validation, fast MIME/MTOM streaming, SOAP and REST
(.NET WCF compatible), WS-* protocols (WS-Security, WS-Policy, WS-ReliableMessaging, etc), XML-RPC and JSON serialization.
Key features include:
XML data binding tools for C and C++ (and C++11).
XML schema to C/C++ type binding means XML and C/C++ data is always type safe.
XML streaming auto-serialization of C/C++ data (with optional use of DOM).
XML-RPC from/to JSON from/to C/C++ conversion (also in streaming mode).
No need to alter C/C++ types for serialization (declare type as 'volatile').
WSDL 1.1/2.0, XSD 1.0/1.1 SOAP 1.1/1.2 compliant.
REST HTTP(S) 1.0/1.1 operations (GET,PUT,POST etc) for XML, JSON, etc.
Send and receive XML over sockets, file FD, and C++ streams.
WS-I Basic Profile 1.0a, 1.1, and 1.2 compliant.
W3C schema patterns for data binding full test pattern coverage.
RSS 0.91, 0.92, 2.0 XML support.
MIME and MTOM attachment support (also in streaming mode).
WS-Security XML authentication, signatures, encryption (also in streaming mode).
WS-Policy 1.2, 1.5 and WS-SecurityPolicy 1.2 compliant.
WS-Addressing 2003/03, 2004/03, 2005/03 compliant.
WS-ReliableMessaging 1.0 and 1.1 compliant.
Proxy and proxy authentication support.
CGI and FastCGI support.
gSOAP Toolkit is very accessible and utilizes cross-platform development. It can be used to develop C/C++ server and client web service apps. The suite manages to simplify the overall use of XML.
