- Built on top of lxml, requests, and httpx
- Support for Soap 1.1, Soap 1.2, and HTTP bindings
- Support for WS-Addressing headers
- Support for WSSE (UserNameToken / x.509 signing)
- Support for asyncio using the httpx module
- Experimental support for XOP messages

Please see the [documentation](http://docs.python-zeep.org/) for more information.

## Status

> [!NOTE]
> I consider this library to be stable. Since no new developments happen around the SOAP specification, it won't be updated...

## AI interpretation — verify before relying

Zeep is a Python SOAP client that enables communication with SOAP web services, supporting SOAP 1.1 and 1.2 protocols along with WS-Addressing headers, WSSE authentication, and asyncio-based operations.

Verdict: Zeep is a stable, actively maintained SOAP client suitable for production use. It has low install friction, a permissive MIT license, no known vulnerabilities, and strong community backing (2007 GitHub stars, top 1000 PyPI package). The primary consideration is ensuring system dependencies for lxml are available.
