XML-RPC is fairly lightweight, but lightweight enough? No idea. It's a fairly simple
XML-ish
marshalling scheme that uses HTTP for transport, and URLs for method addressing. If
all you want to
send is lists and dicts containing simple types (lists, dicts, strings, numbers) it
works great.
There are Java libraries, and probably C/C++ as well.
