Can you explain, in simple terms, how does the XML-RPC protocol function? I'm curious about the underlying mechanisms that enable it to facilitate communication between computers, particularly in the context of blockchain and cryptocurrency transactions. How does it handle requests and responses? And what makes it a suitable choice for these types of operations?

The communication process involves a client sending an HTTP request to a server that supports XML-RPC. The request contains a well-defined structure of XML elements that represent the parameters and method to be executed on the server.

The use of XML as the data interchange format allows for the representation of complex data structures, making XML-RPC suitable for a wide range of applications that require remote procedure calls.

Upon receiving the request, the server processes the XML data, executes the specified method, and prepares the result in an XML format.

The result, which can be a single value or a complex structure, is then encapsulated in an HTTP response and sent back to the client.

The protocol defines a set of data types that can be used for both the parameters and the result. These data types range from simple, such as integers and strings, to complex, which involve nested structures.
