Yes, you can ignore ocaml existence in first iteration (see below) and
use (for example) python with XenAPI.py interface. Main difference in
xapi and xend implementation of XenAPI is pool-related classed (xend
have no conception of pool).

About ocaml... In first XenAPI is language-neutral interface, but xapi
implementation is poor: they store some values in ocaml format (f.e.
last_boot_record for vm). But management part and main data are
available for use without ocaml concern.

Documentation published on xen.org site:

Yes, this is only reference. No guideline or tutorial available.
