RE: [PEAR-DEV] Re: phpdoc and web services

Obviously at one point or another xml-rpc might need to be extended. But I just like the general approach of total simplicity that SOAP seems to abandon (probably because Microsoft wants to easily bind SOAP to COM and IBM wants to easily bind with ..). Anyways for WSDL that is only a side issue. From my understanding the phpedit people do generate xml. Obviously during programming I do not want to have all sorts of clutter (there the phpedit people have a huge advantage since they also have their own editor .. they could just allow you to hide comments specifically directed at the help generator - Manuel maybe you should talk to them about MetaL support). One of the main differences with PHP and WSDL is that WSDL does expect type information. But all docu generators support that anyways (I assume .. I honestly haven't worked all that much with them). Anyways WSDL would not be the view I would want the human to read. Its XML but not very readable imho and definitely not newbie friendly. But since its XML (and quite complete at describing as you can also fit humand readable documentation in there) it would serve as a great basis to generate something that is meant to be read by humans.
