Features
--------

[](#features)

XRL provides the following features:

- Simple servers, using either the property operator `->`or array accessors `[]` to provide methods.
- Simple clients, using the regular method call syntax `$client->procedure(42)` to call a procedure provided by the remote XML-RPC server.
- Intuitive XML-RPC calls, with automatic type conversion between PHP types and their XML-RPC counterparts.
- Optional validation of XML-RPC messages (both requests and responses).
- Two XML output formats (compact or indented), making it easy to debug potential issues.
- Many different types of installations are possible (sorted from easiest to most complex):
    - Using a PHAR archive
    - Using [composer](http://getcomposer.org/)
    - From sources
- A CLI script (for composer/source installs, but see below) that can be used to query a remote XML-RPC server, display traffic (for debugging purposes), etc.
- A `.phar` archive that contains all of XRL's source code and can also be used in place of the regular CLI script.
- Compatibility with PHP versions from PHP 5.3.4 onward.
