# XML-RPC for Rust
[](https://crates.io/crates/xmlrpc)
[](https://docs.rs/xmlrpc/)

This crate provides a simple implementation of the [XML-RPC specification](http://xmlrpc.scripting.com/spec.html) in stable Rust using `xml-rs` and `reqwest`.
Please refer to the [changelog](CHANGELOG.md) to see what changed in the last releases.
## Rust support
This crate uses the same Rust versioning policy as [tokio]: It supports the last
3 stable Rust releases. Increasing the minimum supported version is not
considered a breaking change as long as the latest 3 versions are still
supported.
## Usage
Start by adding an entry to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
xmlrpc = "0.15.1"
```
Then import the crate into your Rust code:
```rust
extern crate xmlrpc;
```
See [`examples/client.rs`](examples/client.rs) for a small example which connects to a running Python XML-RPC server and calls a method. A more elaborate example that demonstrates how to implement a custom `Transport` to set a cookie header is provided in [`examples/custom-header.rs`](examples/custom-header.rs).
