For, instance XML-RPC. From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML-RPC%c2%a0%c2 "XML-RPC" also refers generically to the use of XML for remote procedure call, independently of the specific protocol".

I think there already are plenty of RPC frameworks which also carry
this functionality. HPX[1] comes to mind (though it has to be noted
that HPX does much more than just RPCs).

But, isn't this what you'd use an RPC framework for? So a user won't
have to mess with the networking code?
