What does XML-RPC be used in OpenERP ?

Question

Hi, I wonder what does XML-RPC can be used with OpenERP. Is it use for a CRUD operation from a client computer ? Only ?

What else can XML-RPC be benefit to use with OpenERP ?

Thank you

*UPDATE-QUESTIONS: *If XML-RPC is used to do only operation, why we should use it ? Isn't it better to use PHP and do the CRUD operation directly ?

If you want do it via web service then have look at the  OpenERP XML-RPC Web services [1] .

XML-RPC service can call function(CRUD as well as ORM), its arguments, and the result of the call are transported using HTTP and encoded using XML.

XML-RPC can be used with Python, Java, Perl, PHP, C, C++, Ruby, Microsoft’s .NET and many other programming languages. Implementations are widely available for platforms such as Unix, Linux, Windows and the Macintosh.
