it's sooo annoying. There are no sites that cover SOAP with JavaScript. I am only a junior dev and I have no way how to tackle this project. Why SOAP??

I would use Rest and JSON. But the api I need to access only uses SOAP. I can't use python or php because we can't install on the servers. :(

@xociety SOAP is really just a wrapper around xml (pia for js I know) but simply iterating over the data and building the packet as a string should be simple enough.

that's what's this guy on YouTube is pretty much doing. but I may look into JavaScript SOAP Client?

SOAP doesn't work over JavaScript (AFAIK). The whole point of SOAP is that it serialises strongly typed objects to XML. Can't really do that with JavaScript. You'll need to use a language like Java or C# for that. C#'s WCF framework is great for using SOAP services. Weird that it would have SOAP but not REST.

The Bronto API does have rest but only for thier checkout and cart system. Emails and contacts are in SOAP. I guess they didn't want to go back and change things over.

I stand corrected. SOAP over JavaScript is a thing. Looking at the code samples, I'd say, 'fuck that'. Take a look at some C# samples. It's WAY easier.

too bad we can't do .net on a Java server. :(

@xociety Java does SOAP too! I don't know as much about it as C# but it would definitely be easier than JS.

I'll think I will have a look into that

Googling "javascript soap library" returns a SO article with a soap plugin link for me.

@chrizzle just be cause it exists, doesn't mean you should.
