what is better XML_RPC or SOAP for large amounts of data

Post by unomateo »

I need a web service that allows multiple rows of data to be accessed thru a webservice. Also each row contains a lot of columns.

what should I use for my web service? PEAR::XML_RPC or PEAR::SOAP?

need to deliver large amounts of data, and the clients have to be easy to configure and popular.

Seems that XML_RPC is the current favorite, but it looks like the clients will have difficult with all the <name><value> tags, since their will be alot of them.

Thanks
