What is the best Javascript XML-RPC client library?

Question

What is the best Javascript XML-RPC client library in your opinion and why?

I\'am making a JQuery app and I need to communicate with my xmlrpc server with it.

Answer 1

The protocol is rather easy, are you sure you need a library at all? Maybe just send the XML the protocol requires?

Answer 2

I've had good luck with jsolait (specifically its 'xmlrpc' module), although the project appears to be dead now.

Answer 3

For XML-RPC client calls in JavaScript to a remote server, I successfully used the RedStone XML-RPC library:

I was interfacing it with Python on the other side, I had to do a minor correction to the library though:

//  python xml-rpc does not has a handler name
var message = '<?xml version="1.0"?><methodCall><methodName>' + ((this.handlerName!="")?(this.handlerName + '.'):"") +  method + '</methodName>';

Answer 4

I have tried http://www.zentus.com/js/xmlrpc.js.html myself. It has problems parsing the result in FireFox and Chrome, parsing the result in IE worked fine.

I have not tried the others, but 'mimic' looks great (if it works).

For my own problem, I've switched to JSON instead of XMLRPC.

Answer 5

There is a Google-hosted library here: http://code.google.com/p/json-xml-rpc/. It supports both XML-RPC and JSON-RPC for JavaScript, and asynchronous as well as synchronous requests. I'm about to try out the XML-RPC for JavaScript myself with a JQuery UI and will update this based on my findings.

Answer 6

Adding a library to the list. I found this one quite easy to use, although I haven't tried all of the others that are mentioned.
