1. Taleo uses a proprietary extension of the industry standard SOAP message format called T-SOAP. This format is truly an extension as
all T-SOAP messages are also SOAP messages. The extension covers certain header elements required to communicate with the Taleo
environment and the specification of the body as Taleo integration instructions.
2. The Taleo Connect Platform uses a powerful and flexible proprietary query language called SQ-XML to extract data from the various
Taleo products. More information about this language is available on the Taleo web site in the integration section.
