Re: [Xen-API] Xen-API: XMLRPC Documentation

Yes, you can ignore ocaml existence in first iteration (see below) and
use (for example) python with XenAPI.py interface. Main difference in
xapi and xend implementation of XenAPI is pool-related classed (xend
have no conception of pool). 

About ocaml... In first XenAPI is language-neutral interface, but xapi
implementation is poor: they store some values in ocaml format (f.e.
last_boot_record for vm). But management part and main data are
available for use without ocaml concern.

Documentation published on xen.org site:
http://www.xen.org/files/XenCloud/ocamldoc/

Yes, this is only reference. No guideline or tutorial available.
