Description: XML-RPC takes web technology in a new direction, giving you a new way to create simple,
but powerful, connections between different kinds of programs. After wasting more hours than
I care to admit developing and documenting network formats used to exchange relatively
simple kinds of information between programs, I was very happy to discover XML-RPC. It
would have made all that work much easier.
Whether you integrate systems within a single network or provide services and information to
the public as a whole, XML-RPC provides critical layers of abstraction that make it simple to
connect different kinds of computing systems without needing to create new standards for
every application. Because XML-RPC is built on commonly available HTTP and XML
technologies, the costs of implementing it are low. Because XML-RPC focuses sharply on
solving a particular kind of problem-- making procedure calls across a network-- it is very
easy to learn and implement across a wide variety of systems.
