 # gsoap
 
+The gSOAP toolkit is an open source C and C++ software development toolkit for SOAP/XML Web services and generic (non-SOAP) C/C++ XML data bindings. The toolkit analyzes WSDLs and XML schemas (separately or as a combined set) and maps the XML schema types and the SOAP messaging protocols to easy-to-use and efficient C and C++ code. It also supports exposing (legacy) C and C++ applications as SOAP/XML Web services by auto-generating XML serialization code and WSDL specifications. Or you can simply use it to automatically convert XML to/from C and C++ data. The toolkit supports options to generate pure ANSI C or C++ with or without STL.
