Web 服务描述语言（Web Services Description Language，WSDL）提供了一种描述 Web 服务（大多使用 SOAP）的简单方法。WSDL 允许您描述利用 SOAP 标准所提供的服务和接口。
比方说，可以创建描述某台服务器上提供的服务的 WSDL 文件，然后把该文件分发给需要这些服务的 Web 服务消费者。通过阅读和解析 WSDL 文件，消费者能够了解到使用这些 Web 服务需要知道的所有信息，包括可以交换的数据类型、参数以及返回的各种错误和其他信息。
再次使用来自 W3C 的例子，可以看到不同远程函数的声明和交换的数据都是通过结构的 XML 定义处理的，如清单 3 所示。
