Hello all,

I'm new here ( first post ), and looking to get into D Development. I currently use Python as my language of choice, but am looking to transition. My first question of the D language is, is there a SOAP module that I can consume web services with?

Anyone? I know it's a very basic question, but an honest and friendly answer will suffice.

I don't know, but I don't think so. Maybe it wouldn't be too hard to make out by combining http get (with curl or whatever) with an xml parser to rig something up yourself though.

That's what I was thinking. Just wasn't sure if there was a module ready to do this. I don't mind though. I could definitely use the practice :P

is there any particular reason you are forced to use SOAP?

It is more or less an obsolete and generally frowned upon approach.

if you were willing to adopt REST, vibe.d seems to have some nice functionality for creating REST APIs.

Look at the 'Routing' section here:

The software I plan to interact with only has a SOAP interface. But for learning sake, I'll more than likely utilize curl and handle the responses manually. Thanks guys.
