[ovirt-devel] VDSM (Python JSON) API

[Piotr Kliczewski]

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
