XML-RPC Specification Update #1

« del.icio.us links for 2006-01-22 | Main | "Boy you know it feels good with fire back on your tongue" »

Way back in 1999 ... an update to the XML-RPC Specification ...

Is "boolean" a distinct data type, or can boolean values be interchanged with integers (e.g. zero=false, non-zero=true)?

Yes, boolean is a distinct data type. Some languages/environments allow for an easy coercion from zero to false and one to true, but if you mean true, send a boolean type with the value true, so your intent can't possibly be misunderstood.

Unless you're implementing the original Blogger API or MetaWeblog API for some reason, you probably don't care.

Data types are fun!
