Jim: Any reason not to go with the prior art and just use (or extend, if necessary) XML-RPC?
XML-RPC parsers are everywhere, so it's pretty much the no-brainer default option for passing around programmatic data. In fact, that was one of the big points made when Jeremy Allaire and I were discussing his idea of embedding raw data in RSS feeds a couple years ago... not only is it more lightweight than WDDX or SOAP, there's virtually no language or environment that doesn't already support it. That kind of ubiquity is hard to ignore. -- Roger Benningfield JournURL http://admin.support.journurl.com/ http://admin.mxblogspace.journurl.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
