XML namespace
SOAP 1.1 envelope
The SOAP 1.1 envelope namespace. Distinct from SOAP 1.2 — the version is encoded in the URI.
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"SOAP has no version attribute. The envelope namespace URI is the version, so this string is how you tell a SOAP 1.1 message from a 1.2 one, and mixing the two in one message is an error rather than a compatibility mode.
The prefix is only convention; you will see soap:, soapenv:, SOAP-ENV: and s: for the same URI. Compare the URI, never the prefix.
