What Is a SOAP API?

A messaging specification for information exchange between systems and applications is called Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). A SOAP API is designed in a manner that is more structured and codified than other application programming interfaces (APIs). Compare SOAP to the United States Postal Service. Sending and receiving communications across systems (and within enterprise applications) is made dependable and trustworthy with its help. Although it can be slower than rival architectural forms like REST, it is more traditional, well-established, and trustworthy.

Securing the Backbone of Modern Web Applications

In today's digital era, web applications serve as the backbone of businesses and organizations worldwide. From e-commerce platforms to online banking and social media networks, web applications facilitate seamless user experiences and provide essential services.

Q: How to  configure your sitemap in DNN?

Recently we were faced with a unique challenge. One of our mobile apps was posting images to our WebAPI as a Multipart/Form-Data but our WebAPI was unable to receive the byte array and returned null each time. The WebAPI in question was written for an older MVC application. For the Mobile App, the problem was the function was not able to use HttpPostedFileBase class. 

One of the most common issues we face is creating a REST API for our client which is hosted on a brand new domain while the client application is being hosted on the clients old domain. Specifically when client demands that we carry both the system parallel for couple of months until he/she has confidence on the upgraded API's. In our own company we found this issue when launching a brand new domain for a new application. Unfortunately the new application hosted on the new domain talks to our old REST API hosted on our company domain. Problem!
