# Develop custom response or request handler class

For a web service, you can use a custom class to define the:

- Request that you send to the web service. You can, for example, use a custom class to add some binary code or other logic to the web service request. Use the **PostData** method to define web service requests.
- Response that you expect from the web service. You can, for example, use a custom class to add some binary code or other logic to the web service response. Use the **parseResponse** method to define web service response.

The custom class must extend the **DQSWebServiceCustomFormatBase** base class.
