WSDL is an XML document for describing Web services. Standardized binding conventions define how to use WSDL in conjunction with SOAP and other messaging substrates. WSDL interfaces can be compiled to generate proxy code that constructs messages and manages communications on behalf of the client application.

The proxy frees the developer from having to understand and manipulate XML. See the WSDL 1.1 specification for details. See Also XML, SOAP.
