Installing and Setting up the library is a bit difficult.

Average debugging and testing support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like best is the use of the “generic” transport. While REST today uses HTTP/HTTPS. While gSOAP uses almost any transport to send the request. gSOAP have built-in security and reliability features to tackle the catastrophe. It is highly extensible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

gSOAP only allows XML and difficult to work with JSON. It is generally slow and not performance related any benifits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

gSOAP is very useful when you want to develop application which are written in C/C++ programming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

generation of header/stub files using wsdl can be improved by using GUI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I had used gSoap a while back when Soap was all the rage, gsoap pleasantly surprised us with its easy to use interface and, more importantly, its code gen from WSDL.

It is part of the apt-get repository making it easy to install. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

None. At first, documentations and samples were limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform variability of gSOAP is grand Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If I could use gSOAP for rest API, it would be grand Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of dev with most of plugins to created apps Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

nothing sepecific but hope that now it should more roubust Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's fast and can handle large amount of data, I liked it because it provided me flexibility to send request in json format from my c++ application to a web services written in another programming language, and then handle the response accordingly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Few more complex examples could have been shown on its website. We have 4 big services and many client programs, some Incorporated in different sort of modules. I had to handle a change where I could send multiple requests of a data in single packet, so that I could reduce the number of times hitting up the server and increase my processing time... After spending b2-3 days, I found a way to do so... But if an example provided for same on website would have helped me complete my task early.. but anyway it was a great experience working on gSOAP. Thanks team!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This was one of the easiest way of accessing web services and implementing the client logic after generating the stubs.

It provided a standard way to establish communication between client and servers without bothering about the each other's implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used gSOAP last in 2012. The issues are from that period. Not sure if they still persist.

Session maintenance during communication was cumbersome. Hope new gSOAP is restful enabled.

Also XMLization of request response was an overhead. If that has been improved for communication, it is good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it provides an open source web port for c programming language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it has a very poor and out of date documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
