to manage <a href="http://www.xmlrpc.com">XML-RPC</a> clients and servers.
It enables a Lua program to:
<ul>
<li> Make a remote procedure call to a XML-RPC server
<li> Encode and decode XML-RPC messages
without having to deal with XML code
<li> Register Lua functions/scripts ??????
to respond to remote procedure calls
<li> Transform Lua objects into XML-RPC data types and vice-versa
</ul>

LuaXMLRPC provides simple API and an abstraction layer over XML
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>
The library is divided into four Lua files:
<!--
The distribution contains a set of Lua files:
<ul>
<li> <b><code>xmlrpc.lua</code></b> basic support:
build client requests and server responses;
and disassemble client requests and server responses.
<li> <b><code>toxml.lua</code></b> convert Lua objects to XML
<li> <b><code>xrp.lua</code></b> parse XML-RPC objects to Lua
encode and decode messages from both client and server
<li> <b><code>xrh.lua</code></b> XML-RPC over HTTP:
provides higher level functions that work over HTTP protocol
<li> <b><code>xrc.lua</code></b> XML-RPC over CGI:
a CGI script that implements a XML-RPC server
</ul>
