SOAP (obsolete, but still used in banking/state. sector)
Click to expand / collapse

Despite the fact that REST and gRPC have taken a leading position in modern architectures, SOAP is still used in a number of critical integrations - especially in the banking sector, government platforms and large corporate solutions. We provide SOAP protocol support, including XML messaging, WSDL documentation, and certificate authorization.

This allows you to connect the platform to third-party systems where there are no alternative interfaces yet, and maintain compatibility with established processes.


Where SOAP is used

Scope of applicationExamples of integrations
Bank gatewaysIntegration with payment systems, verification of accounts, reports
Public services and registriesTransfer of data to tax, fiscal portals, licensing authorities
Corporate ERPCommunication with 1C: Enterprise, SAP, Oracle via SOAP services
Legal documentsExchange of legally significant XML messages (contracts that close acts)
Certificate authorizationSOAP request signing, PKCS12 and TLS encryption

Implementation features

The exchange format is XML over SOAP 1. 1 / 1. 2

WS-Security support: digital signature, tokens, certificates

WSDL description of interfaces and data types

Reliable exchange: clear error scheme, repetition of requests, validation of schemes

XML can be transformed into REST or GraphQL if necessary


Benefits of using SOAP

Compatibility with state regulators, banks and large integrators

Stability and strict contract description through WSDL

Support for complex security requirements (certificates, encryption)

Ability to work through intermediate gateways and converters

Complete query/response logic with data structure validation


Where especially important

State or municipal accounting systems

Banking and payment institutions

Companies required to use certified SOAP exchange

Integration with "old" ERP, where there are no REST/gRPC interfaces


SOAP is not about fashion, but about reliable compatibility. If your task is to integrate with government agencies, banks or mature corporate systems, SOAP support can be critical. We are ready to ensure such compatibility.
