A Sample API: sumAndDifference

XML-RPC HOWTO

# 5. A Sample API: `sumAndDifference`

To demonstrate XML-RPC, we implement the following API in as many languages as possible.

    struct sample.sumAndDifference (int x, int y)

This function takes two integers as arguments, and returns an XML-RPC `<struct>` containing two elements:

`sum`

  The sum of the two integers.

`difference`

  The difference between the two integers.

It's not very useful, but it makes a nice example. :-)

This function (and others) are available using the URL `http://xmlrpc-c.sourceforge.net/api/sample.php`. (This URL won't do anything in a browser; it requires an XML-RPC client.)
