<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>LuaXMLRPC is a library to make remote procedure calls using <a
href="http://www.xmlrpc.com">XML-RPC</a>. It also offers facilities
to develop server-side software.</p>
<p>LuaXMLRPC provides a simple API and an abstraction layer over
XML avoiding manipulation of string representation of data
structures. It also offers ways to express everything when
needed.</p>
2004-12-02 15:50:39 +00:00
<p>LuaXMLRPC is free software and uses the same
<a href="license.html">license</a> as Lua 5.0.</p>
2004-11-22 18:35:55 +00:00
<a name="version"></a>
<h2>Current version</h2>
2004-12-02 15:50:39 +00:00
<p>Current version is 1.0 beta. It was developed for Lua 5.0 based on
<a href="http://www.keplerproject.org/luaexpat">LuaExpat</a>.</p>
2004-11-22 18:35:55 +00:00
<a name="download"></a>
<h2>Download</h2>
2004-12-02 15:50:39 +00:00
LuaXMLRPC can be downloaded in source code from its

<h2>What's new</h2>
<ul>
2004-12-02 15:50:39 +00:00
<li>[2/dec/2004] Version 1.0 beta released</li>
2004-11-22 18:35:55 +00:00
<li>[10/dec/2003] Version 1.0 alpha released</li>
</ul>
2004-12-02 15:50:39 +00:00
<p>Version 1.0 beta follows the
<a href="http://www.keplerproject.org/compat">package proposal</a>
for Lua 5.1 (see section <a href="#installation">Installation</a>
for more details).</p>
2004-11-22 18:35:55 +00:00
<a name="installation"></a>
<h2>Installation</h2>
2004-12-02 15:50:39 +00:00
<p>LuaXMLRPC is composed by three Lua files.
These files should be
2004-11-22 18:35:55 +00:00
copied to a directory named <code>xmlrpc</code> created in your
<code>LUA_PATH</code>.</p>
2004-12-02 15:50:39 +00:00
<p>
LuaXMLRPC follows the
<a href="http://www.keplerproject.org/compat">package proposal</a>
for Lua 5.1, therefore this package should be "installed".
In other words,
if you are using Lua 5.0, the files <tt>compat-5.1.c</tt> and
<tt>compat-5.1.h</tt> must be used in the compilation and the file
<tt>compat-5.1.lua</tt> must be installed in the <tt>LUA_PATH</tt>.
If you are using Lua 5.1, nothing should be done.
