Camel Caps SOAP method names

Question

One of my co-workers is developing SOAP API for php application and he is wondering if CamelCaps names are some kind of convention for SOAP methods?

Our current API has lower_caps_and_underscores, but it seems somewhat strange when compared with random subset of other SOAP APIs, and we wouldn't really want to annoy consumers of API with our wrong convention.

Answer 1

In almost all standard SOAP API, I have seen, had CamelCaps. You may want to look standard SOAP API. i.e. google SOAP api

I think so Underscore may annoy users. You can follow either of them however more important is to follow any single standard naming conventions.

Other important thing to consider for naming a service is, naming should clearly establish a meaning and a context of the what service will do in a particular context.

i.e.

GetCustomerHistoryById = Get a single customers history by id
GetCustomersHistory = Get all customer's history
