with a table of all existing parameters and their values, in the <a href="manual.html">User Manual</a>.</p>
<h3 id="soap12format">SOAP format description</h3>
<p>When called with parameter <code>output=soap12</code>, the validator will
switch to its SOAP 1.2 interface. Below is a sample response, as well as a
description of the most important elements of the response.</p>
<p>A <a href="https://www.w3.org/2005/09/css-validator.wsdl">WSDL 2 description file</a> is lso available for this service.</p>
<h4>sample SOAP 1.2 validation request</h4>
<p>It is a simple HTTP GET call to a URI like:</p>
<p><code>https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F&warning=0&profile=css2</code></p>
<h4 id="soap12_sample">sample SOAP 1.2 validation response</h4>
<p>A SOAP response for the validation of a document (invalid) will look like
this:</p>
