Macro XML-RPC

XML-RPC support for MacroExpress.

This is covered in the Writing an Swift XML-RPC Server blog entry.

What does it look like?

#!/usr/bin/swift sh
import MacroExpress // @Macro-swift
import MacroXmlRpc  // @Macro-swift

let app = express()

app.route("/RPC2")
   .use(bodyParser.xmlRpcCall())
   .rpc("ping") { _ in "pong" }
   .rpc("add")  { ( a: Int, b: Int ) in a + b }
   .use(xmlrpc.introspection())

app.listen(1337)

• macro.core.numthreads

• macro.concat.maxsize
• macro.streams.debug.rc
• macro.router.debug
• macro.router.matcher.debug
• macro.router.walker.debug

Async/Await

This doesn't support async/await yet as proper streaming would require custom executors. Which are not yet available.

Maybe a temporary measure would be appropriate just for XML-RPC (which rarely has streaming consumers/producers).
