Is WCF platform independent?

Question

I just need to know if WCF is platform independent like Webservices? Can the functions in WCF be accessed by Java and Php?

Thanks

Yes, WCF is a superset of web services. It can do both platform independent as well as platform dependant communication. You just need to choose one of the wsXXX bindings.

See here for a list of the bindings that WCF supports: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms730879.aspx
