How is RPC different from HTTP?

RPC, or Remote Procedure Call, represents a technology that enables developers to write Java code within a browser environment. This code has the capability to invoke methods residing on a server-side object, facilitating seamless communication and interaction between the client and server.

Ajax requests enable web pages to update parts of their content asynchronously, without reloading the entire page. This enhances the user experience by making web applications more responsive and interactive.

A key advantage of RPC is its ability to abstract the complexities of network communication, making it appear as if the client and server are executing code in the same environment. This simplifies the development process and enhances the user experience.

Additionally, RPC offers a comprehensive serialization mechanism for Java objects. Serialization involves converting the state of an object into a format that can be stored or transmitted, and then reconstructed later in the same or another computer environment. With RPC, this process is built-in, streamlining data exchange between the client and server.

HTTP requests, on the other hand, are a fundamental component of web development. They involve sending a normal Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) or HTTP request to a specific URL, which triggers a server response.
