WSDL is a specification which defines the document format for precisely describing web services in a common XML grammar. SOAP has been widely adopted as the standard messaging protocol for Web Services. WSDL helps to reap the benefits of SOAP by providing a way for Web Service Providers and Web Service Consumers to work together easily.
