A cloud developer is configuring two web services to communicate using the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). The services must exchange data that is strongly typed to ensure consistency. Which option best describes how SOAP handles this message structure?
It transmits content in plain text with limited structural constraints.
It uses JSON objects with user-defined fields.
It processes calls through automated scripts with basic validation steps.
It organizes fields within an XML envelope with structured formatting.
SOAP relies on exchanging data messages using a strict format. SOAP messages apply an XML envelope that includes an optional header and a mandatory body. It uses XML schemas, often defined in a WSDL file, to enforce strongly typed data, which helps ensure consistent interpretation of the data across different endpoints. Other methods like using JSON or plain text are less formalized and do not align with SOAP's specific requirements for typed data.
