Parsing of XML requests

[robinvdvleuten]

First I would like to say thanks for the awesome XMLReader implementation you've written. Is it possible that you also add the code to parse incoming XML requests?

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<methodCall>
    <methodName>method.to.call</methodName>
    <params>
        <param>
            <value><i4>41</i4></value>
        </param>
    </params>
</methodCall>

Thanks for the nice compliment. Being a client only was a conscious decision as I strongly feel one should not introduce more XML/RPC APIs to the world.

I totally agree and I am not a big fan of XMLRPC APIs, but (too bad) some large open-source projects still support XMLRPC as remote interface.
I asked it more because I was interested in how the loop of the parser would solve a structure like the request XML where you have both a methodName string value and a params array structure next to each other. Your parser now only handles a response in an array structure.

Probably the loop get’s two modes in generally, first checking for the method name and then deserializing the parameters. But I don't really know, as I never tried it.
