API designed by Dave Winer for WebLog-authoring tools (clients and servers) to InterOp.

Based on XmlRpc.

Unfortunately the Blogger API isn't consistent with it.

Is it relevant? How are any of these APIs used (aside from within one vendor's environment between front and back end, etc.)?

MetaWeblog API alternatives:

• XmlRpc vs SOAP vs ReST vs etc http://www.intertwingly.net/stories/2003/01/26/evolve.html#ReST

• a super-simple ReST-like suggestion by Tim Bray http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2003/07/03/HTTP-RSS
