Advantages of nuSOAP WebService?

Question

I've been writing a demo web service in PHP using nuSOAP.

I wanted to know what is the advantage of nuSOAP to SOAP PHP5 class.

Also, this is a test web service to use as a model.

I was wondering which were the typical scenarios (general to Webservices, not just PHP) I should test out e.g. providing a web method that returns an object from the server returning a list of items.

Answer 1

The only advantage IMO is that it is a set of PHP classes and No PHP extensions are required.

So, if your webhost uses an older version of PHP or does NOT have SoapClient extension installed, you can use this.

To test the webservice, there is an awesome tool: soapUI.

Answer 2

I could tell one .

Nusoap could provide wsdl uri.
