[Dynapi-Help] Re: DynAPI's XML-RPC/SOAP alternative

[Raymond I. <xw...@ya...>]

The rpc used by dynapi is different from xml-rpc is
called "SODA-RPC"

SODA-RPC might not be as powerful as SOAP, but it’s
powerful enough to get the job done right

Key Features:

 * Based on XML
 * Works behind firewalls 
 * Support older browsers such as NS4+ and IE4+ 
 * Doesn’t require an XML parser 
 * Doesn’t require any new software on client or
server 
 * Supports Asynchronous and Synchronous calls. 
 * Supports server-side methods and error traps 
 * Can make multiple asynchronous/synchronous calls to
the same service   
 * Can support complex data structures (e.g. objects,
arrays, etc) 
 * Can be easily ported to any server-side language
(perl, php, vbscript, jscript, etc) 
 * Simplify communications between the browser and the
web server 
 * Support seven (8) data types: Undifined/null, Date,
String, Integer, Float, Boolean, Array and Object
(Associative Array)
