External checks

This factory abstracts protocol specific's implementations for connecting to the Webservices.nl API. Providing an unified service layer independent of protocol.

The purpose of this library is to connect to any of the Webservices.nl API's (platforms) in a uniform way. Regardless of transport protocol it ships a proxy class for type hinted function calls to Webservices.nl function calls.

Supported protocols

Webservices.nl support multiple protocols for connecting. Soap, XML-RPC, HTTP-RPC/REST. This library has support for multiple transfer protocols.

Soap

This library ships a SoapClient that extends the native PHP SoapClient with a curl client for better timeout management. Also converts native PHP SoapFault into custom platform exceptions where possible.

XML-RPC

Scheduled to be released.

REST

Scheduled to be released.
