Line 2:
'''XML-RPC''' is a [[remote procedure call]] protocol encoded in [[XML]]. It is a very simple protocol, defining only a handful of data types and commands, and the entire description can be printed on two pages of paper. This is in stark contrast to most RPC systems, where the standards documents often run into the thousands of pages and require considerable [[software]] support in order to be used.
It was first created by [[Dave Winer]] of [[UserLand Software]] in [[1995]] with [[Microsoft]]. However Microsoft considered it too simple, and started adding functionality. After several rounds of this the standard was no longer so simple, and became what is now [[Simple Object Access Protocol|SOAP]].
