XML-RPC

XML-RPC is a neat way to send messages across the Internet.

The neat thing about XML-RPC is that it transports native data structures- you can ship off lists, strings, dictionaries, and numbers.

You can [wiki:Wiki/XmlRpc read more about it over on C2,] or on [http://www.xml-rpc.com/ the XML-RPC home page.]

Sample Code

   1 import xmlrpclib
   2 
   3 XMLRPC_SERVER_URL = "http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/moinmoin/?action=xmlrpc"
   4 
   5 pythoninfo = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy( XMLRPC_SERVER_URL )
   6 allpages = pythoninfo.getAllPages() # this is the XML-RPC call
   7 
   8 print ", ".join( allpages )

This code calls the PythonInfo wiki, and receives the TitleIndex as a list.

-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.''
