Seems it's the same functionality as #13, but more polished here. I like the AllowNull attribute to explicitely enable the nil non-standard feature.

Python implementation has this approach as well, and I like that this non-standard feature is not enabled by default too.
This is different from #13 as #13 is about deserializing response data which have NULL values. This (#11) allows to send NULL values as parameters of method in the XML-RPC request.
However, I thing #13 could be more polished if deserialization would take XmlRpcMissingMapping(MappingAction.Ignore)
attribute into account for data deserialization. For example:
public class MyResult
{
public string propertyOne;
[XmlRpcMissingMapping(MappingAction.Ignore)] // don't care if server don't return this field
public string propertyTwo;
}
Solution could allow NULL (\<nil/>) for propertyTwo
but does not allow NULL for propertyOne
and rise exception as in standard behavior. Of course, if I understand the project correctly.
Should this be closed?
Add NonStandard option
AllowNull
to allow serialization of method calls with NULL values in parameters. It is well supported XML-RPC extension: https://web.archive.org/web/20130120074804/http://ontosys.com/xml-rpc/extensions.php
