[consulting] Drupal with Web Services

[Larry Garfield]

I wouldn't recommend XML-RPC.  It's not well supported.

Services is good if you want bidirectional communication.  If you just 
want to access unauthenticated data out of a Drupal site, Views and the 
Views Datasource module is a much simpler to setup system, although 
Datasource is not the greatest module.
