MTOM is the W3C Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism, a method of efficiently sending binary data to and from web services. It uses XOP (XML-binary Optimized Packaging) to transmit binary data and is intended to replace both MIME and DIME attachments. At the very beginning of web services people thought of sending text data with SOAP messages. But after some time people thought of sending binary files as a SOAP request or sending a sound clip as a web service request. So as a solution to these problems MTOM came into the act.
