The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is announcing Wednesday that it has completed work on the WSDL 2.0 Web services standard, which expands HTTP and SOAP support for Web applications.
Thusly, WSDL (Web Services Description Language) 2.0 is now an official W3C Recommendation, which is the equivalent of a W3C standard.
WSDL 2.0 incorporates improvements for WSDL 1.1 found in the WS-I (Web Services Interoperability Organization) Basic Profile and builds in inheritance, import functions and improved description of faults and errors, W3C said.
"It's been a long time in development, but developers can see it's been worth the wait," said Jonathan Marsh, co-chair of the W3C Web Services Description Working Group and director of Mashup Technologies at WSO2, in a statement released by W3C.
