Soap To REST Converter

SOAP to REST Converter Skill

Converts SOAP web services to REST APIs, handling WSDL parsing, operation mapping, and RESTful resource modeling.

Purpose

Enable SOAP modernization for:

• WSDL parsing
• Operation-to-endpoint mapping
• Type conversion
• Authentication migration
• REST resource modeling

Capabilities

1. WSDL Parsing

• Parse WSDL documents
• Extract operations
• Map data types
• Identify bindings

2. Operation-to-Endpoint Mapping

• Map operations to HTTP methods
• Design resource URIs
• Handle parameters
• Transform responses

3. Type Conversion

• Convert XML types to JSON
• Map complex types
• Handle enumerations
• Transform arrays

4. Authentication Migration

• Convert WS-Security
• Implement OAuth2
• Migrate certificates
• Handle API keys

5. SOAP Envelope Removal

• Strip envelope structure
• Extract body content
• Transform headers
• Handle faults

6. REST Resource Modeling

• Design resource hierarchy
• Implement HATEOAS
• Define link relations
• Model collections
