## What it is
gowsdl is a Go CLI tool that generates idiomatic Go client code from WSDL 1.1 files, including SOAP proxy code. It supports Document/Literal wrapped WS-I compliant services, XML Schema 1.0, and SOAP 1.1.

## Use cases
- generate go client code from a wsdl file
- consume a soap web service in go
- convert wsdl to golang types
- build a soap client for an enterprise api
- generate go code from xml schema definitions

## When to choose
- you need to integrate with a legacy SOAP 1.1 Document/Literal wrapped service from Go
- you want generated, idiomatic Go types and client stubs instead of hand-writing SOAP XML
- you need to resolve external XML schemas referenced by a WSDL

## When to avoid
- your service uses SOAP 1.2, RPC/encoded style, or is not WS-I compliant
- the WSDL has duplicated type definitions that would produce non-compiling code
- you need a runtime SOAP framework rather than generated static code
