XMLRPC is a lightweight protocol that enables remote procedure calls
|
|
over HTTP. It is defined at http://www.xmlrpc.com.
|
|
|
|
XMLRPC allows you to create simple distributed computing solutions that
|
|
span computer languages. Its distinctive feature is its simplicity
|
|
compared to other approaches like SOAP and CORBA.
|
|
|
|
The Ruby standard library package 'xmlrpc' enables you to create a
|
|
server that implements remote procedures and a client that calls them.
|
|
Very little code is required to achieve either of these.
