Features

XRL provides the following features:

• Simple servers, using either the property operator -> or array accessors [] to provide methods.
• Simple clients, using the regular method call syntax $client->procedure(42) to call a procedure provided by the remote XML-RPC server.
• Intuitive XML-RPC calls, with automatic type conversion between PHP types and their XML-RPC counterparts.
• Optional validation of XML-RPC messages (both requests and responses).
• Two XML output formats (compact or indented), making it easy to debug potential issues.
• Many different types of installations are possible (sorted from easiest to most complex):
  • Using a PHAR archive
  • Using composer
  • From sources
• A CLI script (for composer/source installs, but see below) that can be used to query a remote XML-RPC server, display traffic (for debugging purposes), etc.
• A .phar archive that contains all of XRL's source code and can also be used in place of the regular CLI script.
• Compatibility with PHP versions from PHP 5.3.4 onward.
