API Explorer

Soap is a XML format that cannot be directly be used in API Explorer. In release 2.2.0, when you create a SOAP API and upload a WSDL file, the system parses the WSDL file and the XML format. One of the files is saved to the Joomla database and the other file is sent to the portal engine. When you log onto the API Explorer tab, the system retrieves data from the portal engine, thus allowing you to see the API Explorer tab information for SOAP.
