Explanation
SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) exclusively uses XML (Extensible Markup Language) for message formatting. SOAP messages are structured XML documents that follow a strict envelope-body format. This is a key distinction from REST APIs, which can support multiple formats like JSON, XML, and plain text. HTML is a markup language for web pages, SAML is an authentication/authorization standard (itself XML-based but not a general SOAP data format), and XSML is not a real data format.
