*** Test Cases ***

Empty string

''

ASCII string

u'Hello, world!'

'Hello, world!'

Non-ASCII string

u'Hyv\\xe4'

u'\\u2603'

Binary Unicode

'\\x00\\x01' b'\\x00\\x01'

Integer

42

-1

0

Float

3.14

-0.1e10

0.0

Boolean

True

False

None

[Documentation] None is converted to empty string because it is not supported by all XML-RPC versions.

None ''

Custom object

[Documentation] Arbitrary objects cannot be transferred over XML-RPC and thus only their string presentation is used

MyObject() '<MyObject>'

MyObject('xxx') 'xxx'

MyObject(u'\\xe4') u'\\xe4'

MyObject('\\x00') b'\\x00'

List

\[]

\['Hei', u'\\xe4iti', 63, True]

\[None] ['']

\[[], [1, 2], [[True], False], 'xxx']

List-like

[Documentation] Tuples etc. are converted to lists

() []

('Hei', u'\\xe4iti', 63, (), None) ['Hei', u'\\xe4iti', 63, [], '']

set(['hello']) ['hello']

xrange(5) [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]

Dictionary

{}

{'a': 1, u'\\xe4': 2, 'nested': {'k': 'v'}}

{'x': None} {'x': ''}

Dictionary With Non-String Keys

[Documentation] XML-RPC supports only strings as keys so must convert them

{42: 42, True: False, None: None} {'42': 42, 'True': False, '': ''}

Binary in lists and dicts

[Documentation] Binary values should be handled recursively

(b'\x01', [b'\x02', set([u'\x03'])]) [b'\x01', [b'\x02', [b'\x03']]]

{'k1': b'\x01', 'k2': [b'\x02', {'k3': b'\x03'}]}
