124 124  
125 125  The principle breaking changes are:
126 126  
127 127  * REST API – The REST API is not backwardly compatible due to modifications to the URLs and query parameters resulting in breaking changes in four of the five main resources.
128 -* SOAP API – Deprecation of the SOAP API means that existing systems designed to use SOAP will not work with version 3.0 registries.
129 -* [[SDMX-ML>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.SDMX-ML.WebHome]] – [[SDMX>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]] 2.1 and earlier structure, data and metadata XML messages are not valid in version 3.0. Specifically: legacy data messages including Generic, Compact and Utility are no longer supported. The remaining Structure Specific data message has been changed to support new features such as reporting of [[reference metadata>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Reference metadata.WebHome]] as part of the [[dataset>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Data set.WebHome]], Structure messages have a number of breaking changes, principally modification to the information model, removal of the agency-(% style="color:#e74c3c" %)version(%%)-id option for referencing [[artefacts>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Artefact.WebHome]] and changes to the way the structures are organised into ‘collections’ within the message.

129 +* [[SDMX-ML>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.SDMX-ML.WebHome]] – [[SDMX>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]] 2.1 and earlier structure, data and metadata XML messages are not valid in (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)version(%%) 3.0.

130 130  * [[SDMX-JSON>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.SDMX-JSON.WebHome]] – [[SDMX>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]] 2.1 structure, data and metadata JSON messages are not valid in (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)version(%%) 3.0. The data message has been changed to support the improved REST data queries, in particular the ability to retrieve in one operation data from multiple [[datasets>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Data set.WebHome]] with potentially different [[Data Structure Definitions>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Data structure definition.WebHome]]. Breaking changes similar to those for the [[SDMX-ML>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.SDMX-ML.WebHome]] transmission format have been made to the structure message.
131 131  * [[SDMX-CSV>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.SDMX-CSV.WebHome]] - The CSV data and [[reference metadata>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Reference metadata.WebHome]] messages are not backwardly compatible with those under (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)version(%%) 2.1 due to changes to the structure of the messages needed to support new features such as the improved REST API data queries.
132 132  * [[SDMX-EDI>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.SDMX-EDI.WebHome]] – Deprecation of the EDI transmission format means that existing systems designed to send or receive structures or data in EDI will not work with (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)version(%%) 3.0 registries.
