This document describes the Extensible Markup Language Remote Procedure Calls (XML-RPC) messaging protocol implemented in UserLand Software's Frontier.

XML-RPC allows a computing device to access or implement proccesses running on remote computing devices under a variety of operating systems. XML-RPC messages are sent over HTTP as an HTTP-POST request, using XML as a marshalling format. This page also provides links to an non-technical description of XML-RPC and a discussion group.
