Client/Server SOAP Library written in C

[snowdrop]

Hi folks,
try the SOAP library written in C. Using csoap you can also implement a SOAP
server in C. This library depends on libxml2.

Homepage: http://csoap.sourceforge.net


Example client using CSOAP
----------------------------------------------

static const char *url =
"http://csoap.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/csoapserver";
static const char *urn = "urn:examples";
static const char *method = "sayHello";

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
SoapEnv *env, *res;
env = soap_env_new_with_method(urn, method);

soap_env_add_item(env, "xsd:string",
"name", "Jonny B. Good");
res = soap_client_invoke(env, url , "");

soap_xml_doc_print(res->root->doc);

soap_env_free(res);
soap_env_free(env);

return 0;
}


Example server using CSOAP
----------------------------------------------

/**
FUNCTION: say_hello()
DESCRIPTION: The SOAP Server service function.
URN: urn:examples
METHOD: sayHello
*/
SoapEnv* say_hello(SoapEnv *request)
{

SoapEnv *env;
xmlNodePtr method, node;
char *name;

env = soap_env_new_with_response(request);

method = soap_env_get_method(request);
node = soap_xml_get_children(method);

while (node) {

name = (char*)xmlNodeListGetString(node->doc,
node->xmlChildrenNode, 1);
if (!name) continue;

soap_env_add_itemf(env,"xsd:string", "echo", "Hello '%s'", name);

xmlFree((xmlChar*)name);

node = soap_xml_get_next(node);
}

return env;
}

/**
FUNCTION: main()
DESCRIPTION: Register and run soap server
*/
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{

SoapRouter *router;

if (!soap_server_init_args(argc, argv)) {
return 0;
}

router = soap_router_new();

soap_router_register_service(router, say_hello, "sayHello",
"urn: examples");
soap_server_register_router(router, "/csoapserver");

soap_server_run();

soap_router_free(router);
soap_server_destroy();

return 0;
}
