Services

Ooor expose as a Ruby API the same web-services exposed by OpenERP. There are 4 families of OpenERP web-services:

• Common: generic services generally not bound to any database
• Db: database management
• Object: business object web service inside a specific database
• Reports: report report printing services. You can eventually trigger a report computation and return immediately and download the report a few tenths of seconds layer when it's ready.

These web-services were traditionally exposed via XML/RPC. But since OpenERP v7, most of them are also exposed as JSON-RPC 2. Ooor 2.x has been pragmatic about that evolution and is using JSON-RPC where the speed advantage was making a difference (10x faster), that is for all the Object services and also for the login service in the Common web-services. On OpenERP 6.1, JSON falls back to XML/RPC transport.
