Savon vs. Handsoap: Conclusion

This documentation is deprecated, please have a look at “savonrb.com”:http://savonrb.com/!

p. The dynamic coding style of Savon is more elegant and the Ruby magic makes it easy to use. Integrating SOAP services is now a fun task!

p. Handsoap makes a good job on encapsulating SOAP calls and provides a wide spectrum of configuration points. It’s very fast on MRI and you have complete control over the XML and transport layer.

p. Even though I am a Java guy I love the Savon approach to SOAP, especially because it completely eliminates the XML part!

p. Many thanx to “rubiii”:http://github.com/rubiii/ for helping with the examples.
