1185841 - remove references to XMLRPC and JSONRPC from the docs

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: Documentation, task, P3)

Description

[:glob ✱]

we shouldn't be pointing people at XMLRPC or JSONRPC, and i don't think an almost empty "rest v2" section contains any value.

Comment 1

[Kohei Yoshino [:kohei]]

I think we should mention when XML-RPC and JSON-RPC will be removed (from the upstream; Bugzilla 7.0 maybe?) and replace the REST v2 part with GraphQL.

Is GraphQL on our roadmap still?

Comment 3

[Kohei Yoshino [:kohei]]

Yeah, realtime updates of bug info/timeline require a push notification system, which will be based on the GraphQL API. Bug 1281087 is the tracker.

[David Lawrence [:dkl]]

We should discuss this further at an upcoming BMO meeting. glob and I were talking about this at the Allhands and thought moving to GraphQL would not be worth the effort and complexity. That it would be better to just deprecate xmlrpc/jsonrpc, refactor the current REST code under Bugzilla/API using native Mojo and finish building that out.

This looks like this is in https://bugzilla.readthedocs.io/en/latest/integrating/apis.html so I can submit a pull request to update this.

I'm trying to find what is in the wiki about XML-RPC and JSON-RPC.

Should moving the REST code to Mojo be on our list of improvements on our two year roadmap?

Yes; there's performance and maintenance gains there.
