WSDL (Web Services Description Language) is an XML format that defines web services and how they can be accessed. A WSDL document describes three key aspects of a web service: what operations it performs, how to access it, and where it is located. It includes elements for defining data types, messages, operations, bindings and services. A sample WSDL document is provided that defines a getQuote operation for a stock quote web service. WSDL can be used to generate client code to access web services.
