But SOAP Web Services still exist and will be around for a long while yet. REST Web Services are now the de-facto standard. Add to that the learning curve to understand SOAP, and it’s clear why there was a need for an alternative. While SOAP includes many benefits, the heavy nature of XML and the marshaling and unmarshaling of XML to programmatic entities such as Java objects, impacts performance and scalability. SOAP is a standards-based web services access protocol that relies on XML to describe the web service and for all request and response messages. SOAP, Simple Object Access Protocol, Web Services have been around for a long time, and not too long ago was the default when it came to exposing functionality using a common format. And because the plugin deploys to Kong Gateway using the Kong Lua PDK, it’s fast! What is SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol)? The plugin can convert JSON to XML SOAP and vice versa, all via configuration. To help smooth this integration headache, the Kong customer experience team developed a SOAP Transformation plugin that removes the need for an integration layer or custom code.

I speak from experience, working both as an integration developer and in engineering roles, building products that expose and consume SOAP Web Services. In addition, there is an investment in learning to use the integration tool. But acquiring, developing and maintaining an integration tool or custom code for this purpose is a huge overhead. The JSON converter is always available online and is completely free.Consuming legacy SOAP Web Services normally requires a middleware integration tool or custom code to develop a modern JSON-based REST Web Service-essentially a wrapper around the legacy SOAP Web Service to improve usability.

You can convert your JSON documents from anywhere, from any machine or even from a mobile device. All documents are removed from the cloud after 24 hours. Expand the ConvertOptions and fill the fields for watermarking.Ĭonverted JSON files are stored in the cloud. Or you can add a watermark to the converted JSON file. Just expand LoadOptions and enter the password of your file. For example you can convert password protected documents. You even can perform more advanced conversions. Once conversion completed you can download your JSON file. Just drag and drop your JSON file on upload form, choose the desired output format and click convert button. You can convert your JSON documents from any platform (Windows, Linux, macOS).
