The current release of xmlrpc-c is intended for C and C++ developers who need immediate support for XML-RPC. It has the following limitations:

• The library treats <dateTime.iso8601> values as strings.
• The HTTP code (especially on the server side) may need some tweaking for use with your application.
• Although the code should be fairly portable, it has only been used under Linux.

On the other hand, the following features are already present:

• C API and experimental C++ API.
• Modular XML-RPC core: If you want, you can supply all your own HTTP code.
• Synchronous and asynchronous XML-RPC clients based on w3c-libwww.
• Multithreaded XML-RPC server based on the Abyss web server.
• Full support for basic types, including <struct>, <array> and <base64>.
• Extensive test suites to help verify correct behavior and correct error handling.
• Passes the official XML-RPC validator1 test suite.
