Zeep 与 Python 中 SOAP API 的请求对比

Question

So I know that Python's requests module can be used to handle REST APIs, and as per this answer here , requests can also handle SOAP APIs as well. I've worked only with REST APIs so far, but of the few people I know who work with SOAP APIs, they almost always use another module zeep .

Is there anything I'm missing? Why is there a need for a whole seperate module, when it is possible using requests as well - and more importantly, why doesn't anybody just uses requests instead of using zeep ?

Answer 1

Ease of use and reusability. While you could use the requests module and write raw XML, Zeep is a high level interface which generates the XML automatically
