About:
Gsoap is a comprehensive toolkit for developing SOAP/XML web services and clients in C and C++. It automates the generation of serialization code (stubs and skeletons) from WSDL and XSD definitions. This enables high-performance, interoperable communication between diverse platforms and languages.

Key Features:

Generates C/C++ code from WSDL and XSD
Supports both SOAP 1.1 and 1.2 protocols
High-performance, low-overhead implementation
Supports XML serialization for complex data types

Use Cases:

Building high-performance SOAP clients for enterprise systems
Creating C/C++ web service endpoints for legacy integration
Generating data serialization code from XML schemas

Alternatives:

gRPC – Modern RPC framework using Protocol Buffers; generally preferred for new microservices over SOAP.
Apache CXF – Java-based framework for services and APIs; better suited for Java-centric environments.
