XML-RPC (XML Remote Procedure Call)

XML-RPC (XML Remote Procedure Call) is a protocol that enables different computers to communicate over the internet. It allows a program on one computer to execute a function or request data from another computer, similar to making a phone call to ask for information. XML is used to format the data exchanged during this communication, ensuring that both sides can understand it. This method is straightforward and allows for easy integration of services and applications across diverse platforms, making it useful in web services and applications that require collaborative functions.
