SOAP Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism (MTOM)
SOAP Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism (MTOM) is one of a related pair of specifications that defines conceptually how to optimize the transmission and format of a SOAP message.
MTOM defines:
- How to optimize the transmission of base64binary data in SOAP messages in abstract terms
- How to implement optimized MIME multipart serialization of SOAP messages in a binding independent way using XOP
The specification is published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) as a W3C Recommendation at SOAP Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism.
