    Hi Madhulika,

    WSDL: WSDL stands for Web Services Description Language WSDL is used to describe web services WSDL is written in XML WSDL is a W3C recommendation from 26. June 2007 An WSDL document describes a web service. It specifies the location of the service, and the methods of the service SOAP stands for Simple Object Access Protocol SOAP is an application communication protocol SOAP is a format for sending and receiving messages SOAP is platform independent SOAP is based on XML SOAP provides a way to communicate between applications running on different operating systems, with different technologies and programming languages.

    Hope that helps.

    Hi Madhulika,

    WSDL : Salesforce provides a WSDL (Web Service Description Language) files. A WSDL is an XML-document which contains a standardized description on how to communicate using a web service (the Salesforce API is exposed as a web service).  The WSDL is used by developers to aid in the creation of Salesforce integration pieces. A typical process involves using the Development Environment (eg, Eclipse for Java, or Visual Studio for .Net) to consume the WSDL, and generate classes which are then referenced in the integration.

    SOAP :The Force.com SOAP API (formerly known as the Force.com Web Services API) lets you integrate Force.com applications that can create, retrieve, update, or delete records managed by Salesforce, Force.com, and Database.com, records such as accounts, leads, and custom objects. With more than 20 different calls, SOAP API also lets you maintain passwords, perform searches, and much more. You can use the SOAP API with any programming language that supports Web services.
