Swift XML-RPC

XML-RPC protocol support for Swift.

An XML-RPC parser and a simple XML-RPC client object based upon URLSession (if available).

Performing a simple call:

#!/usr/bin/swift sh
import XmlRpc // helje5/SwiftXmlRpc

let client  = XmlRpc.createClient("https://www.xmlrpc.com/RPC2")
let methods = try client.system.listMethods()

The package also contains a small XML-RPC commandline client. It can be invoked like that:

swift run xmlrpc_call "http://yourserver/RPC2" system.listMethods

Learn more about XML-RPC in Swift in our blog article: Writing an Swift XML-RPC Server.

Note: Being so old many XML-RPC services still in use are using the ISO Latin 1 charset, which is why the client defaults to that. When interfacing with a newer service, the encoding parameter in createClient may have to be used to configure it for UTF-8.
