My understanding is that RESTful is good for public WEB APIs, however for tightly-coupled systems the best was SOAP/Xmlrpc.

Nowadays the best middle ground probably should a SOAP-like wrapper for JSONRPC(instead of XMLRPC), i.e.using JSONRPC as the payload instead of XML, does such thing exist?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOAPjr was one effort to combine SOAP with JSONRPC, but seems not getting traction.

So, SOAP/XML too verbose, RESTful not good for tightly-coupled systems, what other options do we have, ideally have something like SOAP but using JSONRPC?
