Volger, look for a JSON-RPC server that someone has already created for
elgg. It's highly likely that one exists. Back in the day, the qooxdoo
JSON-RPC client was not quite standards compliant, but the current version
is, I believe, compliant (but not entirely complete, e.g., it doesn't
support batch requests). The qooxdoo client should be able to interoperate
with any standard-compliant JSON-RPC server you find.
Cheers,
Derrell
