.NET Binary Format: SOAP Data Structure

Copyright © 2010 Microsoft Corporation.

Release: Friday, October 1, 2010

1 Introduction
This specification defines the .NET Binary Format: SOAP Data Structure, which is a new format built
by extending the format described in the .NET Binary Format: XML Data Structure, as specified in
[MC-NBFX]. While the SOAP data structure is structurally identical to the XML data structure, should
not be used where an XML data structure document is expected.

The XML Data Structure specifies a binary XML format to efficiently encode the structures that are
common to any XML document. The SOAP protocol specifies an XML document with specific
structures that are common to many SOAP messages. While using XML Data Structure alone to
encode SOAP messages provides efficiencies for the structures of XML, one can observe that strings
common to many SOAP messages are still encoded in their entirety. Furthermore, the XML data
structure does not specify how a producer and a consumer of a document agree on the strings
referenced within a document.

The purpose of the SOAP data structure is to extend the XML data structure format to further reduce
the cost of generating SOAP documents by defining a shortened structure of strings to which a
producer and a consumer can refer.

1.1 Glossary

The following terms are defined in [MS-GLOS]:

.NET Framework
XML

The following terms are defined in [MC-NBFX]:

DictionaryString
MultiByteInt31
record
string

The following terms are specific to this document:

MAY, SHOULD, MUST, SHOULD NOT, MUST NOT: These terms (in all caps) are used as
described in [RFC2119]. All statements of optional behavior use either MAY, SHOULD, or
SHOULD NOT.

1.2.1 Normative References

1.3 Overview

The .NET Binary Format: SOAP Data Structure is used to efficiently represent SOAP documents, as
specified in [SOAP1.2-1/2007].

1.4 Relationship to Protocols and Other Structures

The .NET Binary Format: SOAP Data Structure extends the .NET Binary Format: XML Data Structure,
as specified in [MC-NBFX]. The .NET Binary Format: SOAP Extension, as specified in [MC-NBFSE],
and the .NET Message Framing Protocol, as specified in [MC-NMF], both use the .NET Binary
Format: SOAP Data Structure.

1.5 Applicability Statement

The .NET Binary Format: SOAP Data Structure is a general-purpose way to represent an XML
document and is applied as specified in [MC-NBFX] section 1.3. Additionally, the format is
particularly well-suited for SOAP documents as specified in [SOAP1.2-1/2007] because it defines a
fixed set of s from the SOAP vocabulary that a producer and a consumer of documents in this format
may reference and results in smaller documents.

This specification extends the format described by [MC-NBFX], which describes an efficient encoding
for general XML documents. This specification describes efficient encoding for strings that are
specific to SOAP messages and does not supersede any of the structures defined in [MC-NBFX].

1.6 Versioning and Localization

For information on versioning and localization, see [MC-NBFX] section 1.3.

1.7 Vendor-Extensible Fields

The .NET Binary Format: SOAP Data Structure has no vendor-extensible fields.

2 Structures
The structures in the .NET Binary Format: SOAP Data Structure are identical to those specified in
[MC-NBFX], except that the DictionaryString structure, as defined in [MC-NBFX] section 1.3, has an
additional meaning, described in the following section.

2.1 DictionaryString

The DictionaryString structure describes a reference to a set of characters. This specification lists a
static set of characters that both producer and consumer can map via the DictionaryString structure.

The DictionaryString structure MUST be an even integer value. This restriction exists such that
another specification, namely [MC-NBFSE], may define the odd integers to reference another list of
sets of characters.

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

Value (variable)

Value: An even integer value encoded by using MultiByteInt31. The value MUST be one of the
values shown in the first column of the following table. The characters represented by this data
structure MUST correspond to the characters—exactly as they are shown—in the second column of
the following table. Even values not appearing in the following table have no character
representation and are reserved.

3 Structure Examples
Following is an example of how to encode a SOAP document in the SOAP data structure format by
using the strings specified in section 2. White space (such as spaces, tab characters, and carriage
returns) improves readability, but is not part of the encoded version of the document.

<s:Envelope xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing"
xmlns:s="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
<s:Header>
<a:Action s:mustUnderstand="1">action</a:Action>
</s:Header>
<s:Body>
<Inventory>0</Inventory>
</s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

The following table divides the same SOAP document into records. Each row in the table represents
one record. The first column identifies the text, or record content. The second column identifies the
type of SOAP record. The third column shows the record in its encoded form. For information on the
structure of each record, see [MC-NBFX].

6E 74 6F 72 79

0</Inventory> ZeroTextWithEndElement 81

</s:Body> EndElement 01

</s:Envelope> EndElement 01

Several of the records contain DictionaryString entries, as specified in section 2. The bytes that map
to DictionaryString entries are highlighted in bold in records 1 through 6, and in record 9.
