## Description

Wizdler is a powerful Chrome extension designed to streamline working with WSDL files and SOAP messages. It automatically detects WSDL information on webpages, presenting available services and operations in an easy-to-navigate tree format. Users can generate sample SOAP requests for selected operations, edit them with syntax highlighting, send requests, and view responses directly within the extension.

Additionally, Wizdler allows users to download the WSDL file along with all external XSD schemas bundled into a single ZIP archive for easy access and offline use. The extension prioritizes privacy by not collecting or sending user data and offers seamless integration with your browsing workflow. It leverages technologies like Ace editor, jQuery, Bootstrap, and JSZip to deliver a smooth, efficient SOAP testing and development experience.
