If you're not doing industry compliant, you don't do SOAP. In fact, most non-web service environments no longer use XML at all, instead they use JSON, because it's more efficient.

This is a very interesting statement. Would you happen to know a good[1] web page with comparative benchmarks of XML and JSON?

[1] "Good" is the primary reason why I don't just search for it :)

This is the part perhaps that David was suggesting we move, although I don't know where. JAVA400-L really isn't appropriate because neither XML nor JSON require Java. XML is language-agnostic and JSON pertains specifically to JavaScript more than anything. I suppose WEB400-L, although both formats are used for non-web applications as well.

What we don't have is an application architecture thread, so I'm not sure where to put this. But I'll take it to WEB400-L for the time being.
