All three are meant to implement message exchange in RPC, and no transport protocol is defined. However, in order to facilitate transmission in the network, and because of the stateless HTTP, HTTP is the common transport protocol for these three. The following example is also based on the HTTP protocol

XML-RPC and SOAP are both xml-based message exchange:

XML-RPC is very simple, defining several basic types, anonymous structures, anonymous arrays;

Soap can also customize types in addition to the basic type, named struct body, named array, and can use Polymorphic method invocation methods

While Json-rpc is a JSON-formatted message exchange, JSON is more lightweight than XML and is easy to use in page JS, and other features like XML-RPC

Here are some examples of sending requests using these protocols:

XML-RPC

XHTML Code POST/RPC2 http/1.0 user-agent:frontier/5.1.2 (WinNT) Host:betty.userland.com content-type:text/xml Co ntent-length:181 <?xml version= "1.0"?> <methodCall> <methodname>examples.getstatename </methodName> <params> <param> <value><i4>41</i4></value>            ; </param> </params> </methodCall>

Soap:

XHTML code   post /stockquote http/1.1   host: www.stockquoteserver.com   content-type: text/xml; charset= "Utf-8"    content-length: nnnn   SOAPAction:   "Some-uri"       <SOAP-ENV:Envelope     xmlns:soap-env= "http:// schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"     soap-env:encodingstyle=" http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ soap/encoding/"/>      <SOAP-ENV:Header>           <t:Transaction               xmlns:t= "Some-uri"               soap-env : mustunderstand= "1" >                   5          </t:Transaction>      </soap-env:header>      <SOAP-ENV:Body>           <m:getlasttradeprice xmlns:m= "Some-uri" >               <symbol>DEF</symbol>           </m:GetLastTradePrice>      </SOAP-ENV:Body>    </SOAP-ENV:Envelope>  

Json:

JavaScript code--> {"Method": "echo", "params": ["Hello Json-rpc"], "id": 1} <--{"result": "Hello json-rpc", "ER Ror ": null," id ": 1}
