The Yahoo! Mail Web Service offers two different ways to communicate: SOAP and JSON-RPC. The best choice depends on the programming language you intend to use to develop your application. Not all languages that support SOAP are compatible with the Yahoo! Mail Web Service, but all languages that support JSON-RPC are compatible with the Yahoo! Mail Web Service.
A list of languages you can use with JSON-RPC is available at JSON.org. Please also read our instructions on Using JSON with Yahoo! Web Services.
