Hello,

In XI (internal) all XML message are based on the XI Message Protocol.

See: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/b6/0b733cb7d61952e10000000a11405a/frameset.htm

XI Protocol is nothing but an SAP XI extension of SOAP protocol and SOAP protocol is nothing but a SOAP request in a HTTP protocol. SOAP request is nothing but SOAP extension of an XML message. Hence finally it drill downs to the fact that XI message is in fact an XML message with some extra information in the header which are SAP specific like the SAP Runtime, SAP Hoplist, etc...

Reward if helpful.

If you mean Standard SOAP format and XI SOAP format, then yes.

If you mean to ask about XML, then it is the same.
