Some technologies just keep coming back… Currently writing XML-RPC code, this time for JavaScript. Despite the new-ish JSON APIs in WordPress, not to mention Micropub, MetaWeblog is still the best way to talk to WordPress without any extra plugins or configuration.

@dave Thanks! I think we're going to end up using that. I got about halfway through writing my own library but hit a couple issues that I realized are not worth reinventing the wheel over.

@manton -- good! a couple of things -- if you hit any problems, please report as issues on the repo. and in general, please contact me if you're using any tech i had a hand in originating, because i'm always working on improvements, and next time i might miss your post.
