Protocol Bindings

Protocol bindings are specific rules that link a communication protocol, like HTTP or SMTP, to a particular method or format used in a service or application. They define how messages are formatted and transmitted so different systems can understand each other. For example, a web service might use an SOAP binding to specify how request and response messages should be structured over HTTP. Essentially, protocol bindings ensure that different systems communicate effectively by standardizing how data is exchanged within a given protocol framework.
