Chapter 2. XML-RPC Essentials

XML-RPC provides an XML- and HTTP-based mechanism for making method or function calls across a network. XML-RPC offers a very simple, but frequently useful, set of tools for connecting disparate systems and for publishing machine-readable information. This chapter provides a complete overview of XML-RPC, covering the following topics:

  • An introduction to the main concepts and history of XML-RPC

  • An exploration of XML-RPC usage scenarios, examining its use in glue code and information publishing

  • A technical overview of XML-RPC, including a detailed explanation of XML-RPC data types, requests, and responses

  • An example demonstrating the use of XML-RPC to connect programs written in Java and Perl
