RPC vs. API


- -| RPC: Remote Procedure Call??

- RPC: a client invokes a function on a remote server (as if it were local).??

- RPC: Protocols; XML-RPC (WordPress uses it), JSON-RPC, DCOM, RMI, and CORBA??

- -| API: Application Programming Interface??

- API: A set of rules and specifications to define how the interactions should work.??

- API: Can expose; web services, libraries, and frameworks??

- API: Protocols and formats; HTTP, REST, SOAP, GraphQL, XML, JSON, etc.??

- -| The difference is on the level of abstraction.??

- RPC: Low-Level, very close to the implementation (the clients know the signature)??

- API: High-Level, away from the implementation (the client only needs endpoints and API Parameters)??

- RPC: highly coupled; changes to the implementation have a high impact.??

- API: loosely coupled; changes to the implementation have a low impact.??

- RPC?is more efficient and faster. Uses binary formats??

- API: can be complex and slower. Usually more textual.
