Overview

LuaXMLRPC is a library to make remote procedure calls using XML-RPC. It also offers facilities to develop server-side software.

LuaXMLRPC provides a simple API and an abstraction layer over XML avoiding manipulation of string representation of data structures. It also offers ways to express everything when needed.

LuaXMLRPC is free software and uses the same license as Lua 5.0.

Current version

Current version is 1.0 beta. It was developed for Lua 5.0 based on LuaExpat.

What's new

• [2/dec/2004] Version 1.0 beta released
• [10/dec/2003] Version 1.0 alpha released

Version 1.0 beta follows the package proposal for Lua 5.1 (see section Installation for more details).

Installation

LuaXMLRPC is composed by three Lua files. These files should be copied to a directory named xmlrpc created in your LUA_PATH.

LuaXMLRPC follows the package proposal for Lua 5.1, therefore this package should be "installed". In other words, if you are using Lua 5.0, the files compat-5.1.c and compat-5.1.h must be used in the compilation and the file compat-5.1.lua must be installed in the LUA_PATH. If you are using Lua 5.1, nothing should be done.

Credits

LuaXMLRPC was designed by Roberto Ierusalimschy, André Carregal and Tomás Guisasola as part of The Kepler Project which holds its copyright. It was implemented by Tomás Guisasola.

LuaXMLRPC development was sponsored by Fábrica Digital and FINEP.
