   2       YAZ uses a very simple implementation of
   3       <a class="ulink" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/soap/" target="_top">SOAP</a> that only,
   4       currenly, supports what is sufficient to offer SRU SOAP functionality.
   5       The implementation uses the
   6       <a class="ulink" href="http://www.xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-tree.html" target="_top">tree API</a> of
   7       libxml2 to encode and decode SOAP packages.
   8     </p><p>
   9       Like the Z39.50 ASN.1 module, the YAZ SRU implementation uses
  10       simple C structs to represent SOAP packages as well as
  11       HTTP packages.
