Reading and writing in .NET from and to Wordpress: XML-RPC or AtomPub?

Question

I need to read out posts and maybe write back comments to a WordPress blog.

I found some documentation on their API's XML-RPC and AtomPub.

But what would be the recommended way to go. XML-RPC seems more documented, as far as I can see.

Any experiences/recommendations?

Answer 1

I would say XML-RPC/MetaWeblog because it seems to have better support for clients, and it is geared toward blogs. The only client I've seen for AtomPub is Windows Live Writer.

In AtomPub's defense, I found it fairly easy to implement given only the RFC. I've posted the libraries I developed on Google Code.
