WSDL is used to describe SOAP over HTTP, HTTP-POST, HTTP-GET, SMTP, and others. With WSDL, SOAP is much easier to deal with both for developers and users. WSDL has a number of XML elements in its namespace. The following table summarizes those elements, their attributes, and children (content):

ElementAttribute(s)Children
