## Docs

- [Working with SOAP](https://zuora.ferndocs.com/docs/platform/integration/apis/soap-api/coding-overview/working-with-soap.md): The advantage of using SOAP is that it is an industry standard, works with XML which is easily read by both humans and computer, and almost all programming frameworks have built-in libraries that make using SOAP simple.
- [Implementation Considerations](https://zuora.ferndocs.com/docs/platform/integration/apis/soap-api/coding-overview/implementation-considerations.md): Provides information on things to consider when implementing your client applications.
- [Sessions](https://zuora.ferndocs.com/docs/platform/integration/apis/soap-api/coding-overview/sessions.md): Provides information about Zuora sessions.
- [SOAP API standards](https://zuora.ferndocs.com/docs/platform/integration/apis/soap-api/coding-overview/soap-api-standards.md): Explains the SOAP API standards.
- [SOAP API sample source code](https://zuora.ferndocs.com/docs/platform/integration/apis/soap-api/coding-overview/soap-api-sample-source-code.md): This reference provides the SOAP API sample code in multiple programming languages.
- [Sample SOAP: Capture SOAP/XML](https://zuora.ferndocs.com/docs/platform/integration/apis/soap-api/coding-overview/sample-soap-capture-soapxml.md): This reference provides examples of common ways to capture SOAP in various programming environments.
