I've recently been working on an library providing a single API for using 
several RPC protocols. It was designed with QtDBus in mind and currently 
provides XML-RPC and (simple) JSON-RPC (using QJson).

The code can currently be found at:
http://code.confuego.org/index.php/p/qrpc/

Unfortunately it still lacks documentation (apart from apidox and unit-tests) 
and hasn't experienced any real-world testing yet. It's also unreleased as of 
yet.

Apart from that the tests I have been conducting worked and there's even a 
simple generator for stubs/interfaces from some XML service description 
(unfortunately not WSDL as I wasn't all that interested in implementing my own 
XMLSchema parser :-)).

Could this be of interest for silk (or maybe parts of it)? Are there any other 
plans for communication protocols yet?

Michael
