SOAP and XML

[weronpc]

I need to send data from on machine to another, they are not Web servers

My team lead suggest to sent the data in SOAP format, I was wondering what is the advantage to send data in SOAP format when it's not Web (or web services)? Should I just sent it in normal XML file (without SOAP format, like envelope tag).

Any suggestion is welcome.

Thank you,

Mike Chi
