SOAP web services in erlang

Question

Hello,

Is there any good erlang library for creating / accessing SOAP web services?

Maybe also handling plain XML is quite difficult.

Is Json a good alternative? Any lib for that?

My goal is interop with existing .Net web services.

Thanks

Answer 1

Yaws (an Erlang Web Server) has a Soap module but Soap is not much used in the Erlang Community. Json is a better bet.

The Mochiweb kit that you can used to build your own servers (don't panic its easier than it seems) has good Json support.

Nothing to add to the above answer except that Mochiweb now has a new address: http://github.com/mochi/mochiweb
