In brief, xmlrpc is the method of remote procedure call, where call info is xml encoded.

xmlrpc server exposes a set of remote methods with input arguments and return type.

xmlrpc supports following argument types:

int integer value
double double-precision floating point value
boolean boolean value
string string value
dateTime date/time value
base64 base64 encoded binary data
array array of values
struct structure, where each member has name and value (similar to associative arrays)

To add a post, you need to call wp.newPost with arguments: blog id, username, password and structure, representing post content.

XMLRPCPHP is a good choice.

Thanks Andrei. My XMLRPC client is working. Now I can try to write XML-RPC server.
