The Web Services Description Language (WSDL) is an XML format published for describing Web services. Version V 1.1 has not been endorsed by the World Wide Web Consortium, however it is now working on a new version 2.0, that will be a recommendation (an official standard), and thus endorsed by the W3C.


It is commonly abbreviated as WSDL in technical literature and often pronounced "Whuz-Duhl".


WSDL describes the public interface to the web service. This is an XML-based service description on how to communicate using the web service; namely the protocol bindings and message formats required to interact with the web services listed in its directory. The supported operations and messages are described abstractly, and then bound to a concrete network protocol and message format.

WSDL is an XML format for describing network services as a set of endpoints operating on messages containing either document-oriented or procedure-oriented information.
WSDL is extensible to allow description of endpoints and their messages regardless of what message formats or network protocols are used to communicate, however, the only bindings described in this document describe how to use WSDL in conjunction with SOAP 1.1, HTTP GET/POST, and MIME.
WSDL recognizes the need for rich type systems for describing message formats, and supports the XML Schemas specification (XSD) [11] as its canonical type system.
