## What it is
Zeep is a Python SOAP client built on lxml, requests, and httpx. It parses WSDL documents and supports SOAP 1.1/1.2, WS-Addressing, WSSE security, and asyncio via httpx.

## Use cases
- call a SOAP web service from Python
- consume a WSDL endpoint
- sign SOAP requests with WSSE x.509
- inspect a WSDL file from the command line
- make async SOAP requests with httpx
- integrate with legacy enterprise SOAP APIs

## When to choose
- you need to talk to a SOAP/WSDL service from Python
- you need WS-Addressing or WSSE security headers
- you want a mature, stable SOAP client with asyncio support

## When to avoid
- your API is REST or GraphQL, not SOAP
- you need a client for a fast-moving spec with frequent updates
- you cannot install lxml C dependencies

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: http-client, serialization, parser
- domain: apis, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: soap, wsdl, xml, ws-security, asyncio
