The virtues of XML-RPC

The virtues of XML-RPC:

It’s way too late to convince the folks working on the Atom weblog editing API that XML-RPC is good. (I argued in favor of XML-RPC—months ago? A year ago? And lost.)

But now and again I feel the need to explain why XML-RPC is good, since the issue will come up in other contexts. Even if we use other things, it’s worth remembering the virtues of XML-RPC, since nothing else comes close yet in terms of both ease-of-use and generality.

This is a great summary of why I love xml-rpc and made the initial set of RealBASIC XML-RPC Classes for RealBASIC and have spent a bit of time updating them for RB 5.5.x and adding some unit tests. (Via inessential.com.)
