It turns out that schema-first design is useful. It turns out that having a cross-platform industry standard for such schemas is useful.
What developers didn't like about SOAP aren't necessarily the features, it's all the XML.
- pjmlp 9y agoXML is great, allows lots of tools to be used.

- pjmlp 9y agoI have been coding since the mid-80's. Feels refreshing to be called young. Just this week I was having the pleasure of using XSD schema validation to ensure files aren't corrupted.
