What
is XML-RPC?
It's a spec and a set of implementations
that allow software running on disparate
operating systems, running in different
environments to make procedure calls
over the Internet.
It's
remote procedure calling using HTTP
as the transport and XML as the encoding.
XML-RPC is designed to be as simple
as possible, while allowing complex
data structures to be transmitted,
processed and returned.
The
XML-RPC community
The
implementations page lists the accomplishments
of the community, a set of compatible
XML-RPC implementations that span
all operating systems, programming
languages, dynamic and static environments,
open source and commercial, for Perl,
Python, Java, Frontier, C/C++, Lisp,
PHP, Microsoft .NET, Rebol, Real Basic,
Tcl, Delphi, WebObjects and Zope,
and more are coming all the time.
The
services page lists the next-level-up,
public applications, or "web
services" that are accessible
through XML-RPC.
The
communities page tries to organize
all the activity around XML-RPC on
mail lists, websites and search engines.
