What is WSDL?

The Web Services Description Language (WSDL) is an XML-based language for describing the network services offered by the server. You use WSDL to create a file that identifies the services provided by the server and the set of operations within each service that the server supports. For each of the operations, the WSDL file also describes the message format that the client must follow in requesting an operation.
