Yes, raw_post_data() created exactly for this purpose and for example
JSON-RPC API uses it.

JSON-RPC is provided as most lightweight and efficient services,
that can be easily integrated with client (both Browser and
other client that generates JSON-RPC requests)


(Note that JSON is much more lightweight format then XML...)

If you want to create other services you may want to use your favorite

XML library (tinyxml, libxml2 etc) and you may generate responses
as XML using both CppCMS templates language or generate XML using
your favorite XML library.

Also note that for RESTFul services the url-dispatching/mapping services
fit very well as it allows to handle proper hierarchy easily.
