XML-RPC Client

Downloads

Communicate with online blog software from your app. Real Software's Feedback app uses these classes for all communication to the master server.

Hopefully by now you know what XML is. But you may not have heard about RPC. It stands for Remote Procedure Call, and it is basically a means to execute a function on a remote computer, and get back some data. So it stands to reason that XML-RPC is an xml-based protocol for doing exactly that.

XML-RPC is commonly used by blog software to allow desktop and mobile clients to communicate with them for the purpose of managing content. Uploading photos, writing entires, comment management, etc are all common tasks that most blog software supports via XML-RPC.

In fact, XML-RPC is robust enough that it was used as the backbone for Real Software's Feedback app. The server runs an XML-RPC server built in PHP, and the app uses XML-RPC to handle logins, searches, data queries, etc. XML-RPC is a very capable protocol.

So should you need to communicate with an XML-RPC server, these classes will suit your needs.
