WHAT DOES SOAP,XML,JSON

JSON is a standard to represent human-readable data. It merely represents data, nothing more.
SOAP is a protocol specification for transmiting information and calling web services, and uses XML to encode it. SOAP works over HTTP (amogst other network protocols).
XML-RPC is another protocol, used for transmiting information and calling remote procedures. It doesn't run over HTTP, but is rather a different protocol, different port, etc.
So the main difference between SOAP and XML-RPC that the former wraps inside HTTP, while the latter does not. JSON is something completely different.
