The challenge
Modern mobile and web applications used REST/JSON, while enterprise backend systems exposed services through SOAP APIs governed by WSDL contracts. Complex XML structures and namespaces created integration challenges.
The architecture
Implemented a centralized API layer using IBM API Connect and IBM DataPower to consume SOAP services via WSDL, perform JSON-to-SOAP/XML transformations, validate schemas and expose standard APIs for modern applications.
The verified impact
Enabled reliable and scalable service communication, improved operational visibility, reduced backend dependency and delivered a consistent integration experience for mobile and web applications consuming enterprise SOAP services.
