How deeply does Building Web APIs with ASP.NET Core cover xml?

Defines XML through its SOAP and WSDL uses, without showing XML syntax or parsing.

Xml

As explained in Building Web APIs with ASP.NET Core

XML is a markup-based data interchange format for representing structured information with nested elements and attributes.

XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a markup-based format for structured information. In web APIs, it can carry messages exchanged between systems. SOAP uses XML for its requests and responses; HTTP commonly transports those messages, though SOAP can use other protocols. section 1.1.4

XML also appears in WSDL files, which describe the operations and messages supported by SOAP endpoints. SOAP can be extended with additional message-level standards, but its XML requests and responses can become extremely complex. When evaluating an API approach, distinguish the message format (XML) from the messaging protocol (SOAP) and its transport (often HTTP). section 1.1.4
