Aww a whole new generation of devs get to make the same mistakes SOAP made. Makes me feel all fuzzy inside.

I used SOAP in my first web dev job over a decade ago when I was making flight search software and connecting to horrific APIs owned by the airline industry to get flight details and purchase tickets. Why are these two things even remotely the same? It's closer to SQL than SOAP, and I'd choose graphql over any soap api. I still wouldn't do it over http if I could avoid it though.
