Another is xml-rpc (also from RAA). I have only played with it a little, but
it does give the advantage of interoperability with a number of other
languages. There is a good introductory 'howto' linked from www.xmlrpc.com

It seems you can also do RPC-like semantics using YAML, at least there is
some code under src/okay and samples/okayRpc* in the yaml4r distribution.
It refers to
http://wiki.yaml.org/yamlwiki/OkayRpcProtocol
but that site seems to be down.

Brian.
