Evert Pot (http://pear.php.net/user/evert) has commented on the proposal for PHP::PHPRPC. Comment: The main advantages are: * speed * creating a client is really easy (file_get_contents + unserialize) * transmit PHP classes and objects over the wire * very compact compared to SOAP and XML-RPC A big drive to create this package, is to formalize a standard (e.g.: PHP-RPC). Like till mentioned, a lot of sites are already starting to support PHP serialized webservices. So having a standard might allow generalization of clients. Also, REST is url/http based.. (e.g.: everything is a resource) whereas traditional protocols (XML-RPC, SOAP) are RPC based (e.g.: a methodname, arguments and returned data). This proposal supports both methodologies.
