Abstract

   This document defines the "application/soap+xml" media type which can
   be used to describe SOAP 1.2 messages serialized as XML.

1. Introduction

   SOAP version 1.2 (SOAP) is a lightweight protocol intended for
   exchange of structured information between peers in a decentralized,
   distributed environment. It defines an extensible messaging framework
   that contains a message construct based on XML technologies that can
   be exchanged over a variety of underlying protocols.

   This specification defines the media type "application/soap+xml"
   which can be used to identify SOAP messages serialized with XML 1.0
   carried in MIME or MIME like protocols that support the concept of
   media types for which a SOAP binding has been defined.

2. Registration

   The registration form can be found in Appendix A of the "SOAP 1.2
   Part 2: Adjuncts" [SOAP12P2] specification.
