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. + +== Example + +Try the following code. It calls a standard demonstration remote procedure. + + require 'xmlrpc/client' + require 'pp' + + server = XMLRPC::Client.new2("http://xmlrpc-c.sourceforge.net/api/sample.php") + result = server.call("sample.sumAndDifference", 5, 3) + pp result + +== Documentation + +See http://www.ntecs.de/projects/xmlrpc4r. There is plenty of detail there to +use the client and implement a server. + |
