About:
XML-RPC-C is a lightweight RPC library that implements the XML-RPC specification using C and C++. It provides a robust framework for creating XML-RPC clients and servers, handling HTTP transport and XML parsing. Its main value proposition is enabling simple, standardized remote procedure calls between distributed systems with minimal overhead.
Key Features:
  • Client and server implementation in C/C++
  • Supports both synchronous and asynchronous calls
  • Extensible transport layer (HTTP, HTTPS)
  • Portable across multiple operating systems
Use Cases:
  • Building cross-platform API clients
  • Creating lightweight embedded system services
  • Integrating legacy C/C++ applications with web services
Alternatives:
  • libcurl – More focused on HTTP operations, requires additional libraries for RPC structure
  • gRPC – Modern binary protocol with better performance but higher complexity
