Delphi 2007 enhanced WebSevices support - Plus FREE eBayAPI4Delphi

One of the many features that were updated in Delphi 2007 is Delphi’s built-in SOAP/WSDL support. Delphi 6 was the first ever IDE and compiler to provide built-in support for SOAP Web Services, including code insight for services, and simple client and server support. … it seamlessly supported creating SOAP servers from standard Delphi methods, and the WSDL import and RIO components make interacting with Web Services easy and natural.

In Delphi 2007, Delphi’s SOAP/WSDL support was significantly updated to support newer service features such as external schemas (which is how eBay did the integration when they aquired PayPal) and the SOAP runtime was updated to support optional and unbounded elements which are used by many newer APIs. The result is support for newer versions of popular ecommerce and Web2.0 APIs such as Amazon, eBay, MapPoint, and Paypal to name a few.

If you are interested in eBay specifically, ea4d.com has released version 3 of the EbayAPI4Delphi component’s which encapsulates the eBay API into VCL controls. Very slick if you’re doing any integration with eBay and wish to forego learning and using the API manually. The kicker is that they are offering the new version for Free thru June 15th without source code.

ebayAPI4Delphi is a suite of native Delphi components for accessing eBay servers with eBay XML API. It implements all classes defined by eBaySvc.wsdl. It’s thread safe and easy to use and enables any Delphi applications access Ebay API platforms, both SandBox and Production (*You must register to eBay developer program, to be able to access eBay servers. see : eBay Developers Program)

eBayAPI4Delphi works with Delphi (win32) v5, 6, 7, 2005, 2006 and 2007! and is available thru June 15th for FREE (w/o Source Code). New features implemented in v3:

Full implementation of eBay XML API v.511
Full unicode support
New XML engine (way Faster with Less merory used)
New default HTTPS layer based on wininet
All HTTPS Layer now support gzip compression (Winitnet, urlmon, indy9, indy10)
EPS (Ebay Picture Service)
Delphi 2007 libraries
"For in Loops" (Enumerator) support for TXWSDLArray

Cool stuff. Check it out.
