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.

> Hi, all
> I have done some research over the interfaces of Xen(XCP). I found this page to introduce the history of API:
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/API_History
> If I understand correctly, both xend and xapi have implemented the server side(host side) service. The client side(management tools) just sends the XML-RPC requests to either xend or xapi.
> My question is : I can only find xapi documentation describes the API in Ocaml way. I have no clue how to compose the XML-RPC and get the response. If my understanding is correct, I don't
> need to learn ocaml to use xapi since I only need to send XML-RPC requests to host that means I can use every language I like.
> I think if the xend and xapi need to implement the service, they should have the XML-RPC documentation first. Can someone point me the location of the whole XML-RPC documentation so that
> I can write my own client program to access and manage the XCP hosts.
> Thanks a lot!
