REST web service with Delphi

March 26th, 2007 by William Yang

When I was looking for examples of how to make REST calls in Delphi 7, I found
XML-RPC for Delphi. XML-RPC for Delphi is an object library that utilises Open Source Indy Components and helps your application connects REST web service. XML-RPC comes full source code and some examples, but does not come any documentation.

Here is a round up of what XML-RPC supports:

  • Basic data types, string, interger, datetime etc.
  • Array data type
  • Struct data type
  • Automatic data type conversion between Delphi data type and REST data type
  • Base64 string conversion

I am current using XML-RPC to develop a Wordpress client in Delphi. I will post more result and findings in the future.
