JSON-RPC and XML-RPC in C/C++

Unlike Lua, C/C++ does not support introspection. Consequently, it takes greater effort to use JSON-RPC or XML-RPC with C/C++. For example, the Lua XML-RPC stack uses introspection to automatically de-serialize and serialize Lua objects. In contrast, C/C++ users must write support code to manually de-serialize and serialize JSON-RPC and XML-RPC data.

See the C/C++ reference manual for more information:

• Web-Services
  • JSON_RPC
  • XML-RPC: The C version of the XML-RPC stack has been deprecated. Use the Lua version.
