Re: [ovirt-devel] VDSM (Python JSON) API

Sandro, The API hasn't changed between xmlrpc and jsonrpc. The only difference is format how we provide it. We need to update the API docs that we have and there is a bit of work (hopefully) scheduled for 4.0 to define api interface between the engine and vdsm with validation on both sides. There is a bit of ongoing work to provide jsonrpc client for vdsm and you can code how to use it here [1]. There is a bit of work that needs to be done in order to merge it but you can take a look at start to play with it. Thanks, Piotr [1] https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/45789
