## What it is
SoapCore is a SOAP protocol middleware library for ASP.NET Core that lets you host SOAP endpoints in modern .NET applications. It supports DataContract and XmlSerializer, ref/out parameters, exceptions, and interoperates with legacy SOAP/WCF clients.

## Use cases
- expose a SOAP endpoint from an ASP.NET Core app
- migrate a WCF service to .NET Core while keeping SOAP clients working
- serve .asmx-style SOAP services in modern .NET
- support legacy SOAP clients against a new backend
- add custom SOAP message serialization to an ASP.NET Core service

## When to choose
- you need SOAP 1.1/1.2 endpoints on ASP.NET Core
- you must interoperate with existing WCF or ASMX clients
- you are porting WCF server code to .NET 8

## When to avoid
- you are building new REST or gRPC APIs with no SOAP requirement
- you need full WCF feature parity such as named pipes or MSMQ transports
- your clients can migrate to JSON-based APIs

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: middleware, serialization, http-server, web-framework
- domain: web-development, backend, apis
- platform: dotnet, cross-platform
- tags: soap, wcf, aspnet-core, xml, web-server
