In all fairness, deprecated normally means it is "marked" as deprecated

Already tried and tested and passed QA, and then suddenly need to switch
to
an unfamiliar technology that has not passed our QA yet. Just my 2c
worth.
True, but given that the examples didn't compile since many, many years,
I'd
say that the probability that xmlrpc passed the QA in a company was very
remote
indeed. That was why we decided to remove it alltogether at once.
Actually I have a code in PHP that does XMLRPC and a new CentOS
installation
crashes PHP without any given reason (glib error on an existed code that
works on other servers), and I prefer to use something stable and fast
rather then something that is not, because I do not have a lot of time to
make things work properly (the life of freelancing).
I remembered that FPC have an XMLRPC generator that allow me to just focus
at the task I require, and wanted to use it, but the generator could not
be
compiled because of the missing unit.
Where is this generator ? I should remove it too.
The generator does not exists anymore, the example of svrclass_xmlrpc
requires it under:
fpc/packages/fcl-net/examples
I'll remove that too.
In each case the stable branch still contains it. Copy it from there,
and be warned: it is no longer supported.
As for fp-web being json: There is nothing JSON specific about WST, on the
contrary, I would say ? I am still looking into getting a more
leight-weight
implementation of xml-rpc in fp-web directly, as WST is sometimes a bit
heavy for simple things.
The names are misleading then :(
WST is webdata am I correct ?
Ah, nono. WST is Webservices Toolkit. You can find it on lazarus-ccr.
It can exist completely without lazarus, though. very good and stable
product. It works since years. The support for fcl-web is rather recent,
though. you can also use it without fcl-web, just with synapse, apache or
even indy.
