Why reinvent this wheel?

Perhaps the effort is fueled by some rather clever fellow recently remarking that SOAP isn't a panacea. :)

    If so they must have misunderstood! Most of the problems I identified with SOAP are common to most RPC systems. Instead of just switching to another RPC system, Krang doesn't support RPC at all. Its XML system is based on TAR instead!

    It could be that mod_perlservice is a great advance over SOAP, but I've seen nothing so far to convince me. And nothing I've seen so far has convinced me that this new RPC system justifies a new mod_perl!

      SOAP is too complex. XML_RPC isn't powerful enough. mod_perlservice is an easy-to-use, but powerful and extensible system. It eliminates many of the old annoyances and kludgyness of the old systems.
        Sounds like a reinvented wheel to me! I guess we'll see if it was worth it...

    XML-RPC is good enough for most things that use SOAP, and it's faster and simpler and has less variants. YAML/RPC is what it's all about though :)
