What is difference between soap and http protocols?..thanks in advance

2

SOAP will commonly run on top of HTTP.

They are completely different in terms of what they are designed to do… best go to wikipedia and read up on both:

Broadly:
HTTP - used to tranfer data via internet
SOAP - something used to build nice, clean APIs

3

SOAP deals with platform independent data format (or XML) to request and receive data from the server.

HTTP deals with network level protocol.

Analogy would be
SOAP = the person who packages the shipping box
HTTP = the delivery truck that delivers the package

this is why styloa said SOAP on top of HTTP.
