That was exactly my sentiments back in 2000s. I had to use SOAP a few times, then switched to a semi-proprietary binary protocol called Hessian [1] (and its XML based sister, Burlap [2]) and it saved my day.

This is a ridiculous website:

They should be using rocks instead of a computer with this mindset.

What does the content on the rest of the site have to do with the link I posted? This is literally ad hominem - disregarding an argument because you dislike the author.
I dislike the author based on his/her writings.

Why would it be ad hominem (which is not even that)? Also, the link I posted is even about the same topic, not unrelated - so a logical flow in that one (and it has plenty) will easily apply just as well to an elaboration of one of the listed contenders on this page.

dismissing the argument based on your feelings about the author is literally ad hominem.
thank you for this
