REST is generally considered to be the ‘right’ way to handle a web service.

Lots of info re using CI for this: codeigniter rest web service.

Thanks for your Reply

I planned to use XML RPC method.

Can you tell me which is good ? XML RPC or REST in my situation. My client suggested XML-RPC but I have freedom to choose.

Ah well, as CI has an xml-rpc class, and the client suggested it, its probably best to go with that.

Thanks
any advantages XML RPC is having over REST ?

In your case, the XML RPC advantages are - “CI has an xml-rpc class, and the client suggested it” :slight_smile:
