That might result in something like SOAP, which creates huge, bloated payloads, involves multiple layers of wrapping tags, integrates with discovery schemas, has additional federation and in-built security mechanisms, each of which are themselves defined in XML.

How often do you hear yourself saying “I wish I had a better manager”? My journey to better understand the leadership models and how they affect business performance started with this story from a friend of mine reaching out to me about wanting to leave her position.
