I know XML_RPC2 but the proposal was rejected. And even I read good
news about it on this list, there is still no package available and no
activity (new proposal...).
I think that PEAR need a "easy & modern" XML/RPC package NOW (and
probably an easy SOAP client too).
There are two ways :
- XML_RPC2, which is a biggest thing because it replaces XML/RPC
- XML_RPC_Easy, which is only an little additional layer and which
uses and depends on the well tested XML/RPC stuff
If XML_RPC2 is available in a few days (weeks ?), I completly agree to
drop my proposal. But if there are some big delays again.....
PS : I can add the support of the reflection API as an additional way
because IMHO it's not a perfect thing when you want to use strong
function signature (string, bool, optional int...). PHP "Type Hinting"
features are not enough good to do that.
