Eric Kidd has announced an implementation of XML-RPC for C and C++.

Released as open source under the BSD license, Kidd's library includes a C API and an experimental C++ api. It uses the W3C's libwww, and can provide a standalone server based on the Abyss web server.

Other features include:

• Synchronous and asynchronous XML-RPC clients
• Extensive test suites to help verify correct behavior and correct error handling

Current restrictions include opaque-only handling of the dateTime.iso8601 datatype, and possible portability restrictions due to the code being developed on Linux. Kidd welcomes patches and has a feature wishlist which developers may be interested in.
