    XML SOAP is a language that allows a program running in one operating system to communicate with another program in another operating system over the internet.

    SOAP is probably the most covulated (sp) and complex way to transfer data between two servers. Wouldn't recommend it. Stick with just simple XML, or go with a REST API, or something to that effect.

    SOAP is a simple XML-based protocol to let applications exchange information over HTTP.In our SOAP tutorial, you will learn what SOAP is, and how it uses XML to exchange information between applications.

Since Web protocols are installed and available for use by all major operating system platforms, HTTP and XML provide an already at-hand solution to the problem of how programs running under different operating systems in a network can communicate with each other.
