Re: [Xen-devel] [RFC] Xend XML-RPC Refactoring

Hi,
I wanted to give the list a heads up about something a number of us
discussed at the recent XenSummit.
We would like to simplify Xend by utilizing more of the standard Python
library and relying on less of our own code. The most obvious thing
here is the current S-Expression/HTTP RPC interface. We would like to
replace this with XML-RPC using Python's builtin support (xmlrpclib and
SimpleXMLRPCServer).
I've got some initial code and more details on the wiki
(http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Xend/XML-RPC). Early estimates are
that this would reduce the code in Xend by about 33% (5k slocs). We
would also like to standardize this XML-RPC interface so that
third-parties write apps to this interface without worrying about
massive breakage.
I think moving from s-exp's to XML is a bad move. If you want, use your
s-expression library from LANL; it's used worldwide, and has done the
job for a lot of projects.
I know of at least one project that moved from XML to s-exp's, using our
library, because XML is just plain unwieldy.
thanks
