1 Soup is a SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) implementation in C.
3 It provides an queued asynchronous callback-based mechanism for sending and
4 servicing SOAP requests, and a WSDL (Web Service Definition Language) to C
5 compiler which generates client stubs and server skeletons for easily calling
6 and implementing SOAP methods.
8 It uses the GLib main loop and is designed to work well with GTK applications.
