SOAP and XML-RPC Compared:
The choice of which RFC protocol to implement—SOAP or XML-RPC—is often dictated by circumstance. If you are implementing a service that needs to interact with existing clients or servers, your choice h«: already been made fur you. For example, implementing a SOAP interface to your Web log might be interesting, but might not provide integration with existing tools. If you want to query the Amazon or Google If-search APIs, the decision is not up to you: You will need to use SOAP.
If you are deploying a new service and you are free to choose which protocol to use, you need to consider the following:
• From an implementation standpoint, XML-RPC requires much less initial work than SOAP.

• XML-RPC generates smaller documents and is less expensive to parse than SOAP.
• SOAP allows for user-defined types via Schema. This allows both for more robust data validation and auto-type conversion from XML to PHP and vice versa. In XML-RPC, all nontrivial data serialization must be performed manually.
• WSDL is cool. SOAP's auto-discovery and proxy-generation abilities outstrip those of XML-RPC.
• SOAP has extensive support from IBM, Microsoft, and a host of powerful dot-coms that are interested in seeing the protocol succeed. This means that there has been and continues to be considerable time and money poured into improving SOAP's interoperability and SOAP-related tools.
• SOAP is a generalized, highly extensible tool, whereas XML-RPC is a specialist protocol that has a relatively rigid definition.
I find the simplicity of XML-RPC very attractive when I need to implement an RFC that I control both ends of. If I control both endpoints of the protocol, the lack of sound auto-discovery and proxy generation does not affect me. If I am deploying a service that will be accessed by other parties, I think the wide industry support and excellent supporting tools for SOAP make it the best choice.
