XML RPC Client 1.0

XML RPC Client is a Developer Tool that allows you to access and debug XML-RPC web services from the comfort of your desktop.

Using XML RPC Client is easy:

1. Type in the desired XML-RPC Endpoint URL.

2. Type in the specific desired XML-RPC function to call.

3. Now the interesting part… type in the params for your XML-RPC function call using JavaScript syntax for all of the XML-RPC datatypes (including arrays, structs, dates, and base64 values to an arbitrary depth).

4. Click "Execute".


Upon completing the function call you will see three groups of information in the main tabbed display:

1. XML Request: This is the raw XML request you have just sent to the server.
2. XML Response: This is the raw XML response you have just received from the server.
3. Object Response: This is a psuedo-code representation of the objects that were returned from the server.

To specify params, you can use JavaScript syntax. For example, say you had a function that accepted a single string argument. You would write the following in the "Params" text area:

"my arg"

or

'my arg'

If you had a function that accepts two arguments of type integer and boolean:

42, true

If you had a function that accepts a single array argument containing integers:

[1, 2, 3]

A function that accepts a single struct argument:

{name: 'Joe', age: 27, jobs:['developer', 'exotic dancer']}

Note that unlike Python, the struct keys are not quoted.


For the dateTime.iso8601 data type, you use the simple JavaScript Date class in the params text area. For example, if you wanted to call an XML-RPC function with a single param of type dateTime.iso8601 with a value of today's date, you would type the following in the params text area:
