# @ohos.rpc (RPC)
The **rpc** module implements communication between processes, including inter-process communication (IPC) on a single device and remote procedure call (RPC) between processes on difference devices. IPC is implemented based on the Binder driver, and RPC is based on the DSoftBus driver.
> **NOTE**
>
> The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 7. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.
>
> This module supports return of error codes since API version 9.

## MessageSequence9+
Provides APIs for reading and writing data in specific format. During RPC, the sender can use the **write()** method provided by **MessageSequence** to write data in specific format to a **MessageSequence** object. The receiver can use the **read()** method provided by **MessageSequence** to read data in specific format from a **MessageSequence** object. The data formats include basic data types and arrays, IPC objects, interface tokens, and custom sequenceable objects.

## MessageParcel(deprecated)
>This class is no longer maintained since API version 9. You are advised to use [MessageSequence](#messagesequence9).
Provides APIs for reading and writing data in specific format. During RPC, the sender can use the **write()** method provided by **MessageParcel** to write data in specific format to a **MessageParcel** object. The receiver can use the **read()** method provided by **MessageParcel** to read data in specific format from a **MessageParcel** object. The data formats include basic data types and arrays, IPC objects, interface tokens, and custom sequenceable objects.
### create

**Example**
```
let data = rpc.MessageParcel.create();
console.log("RpcClient: data is " + data);
```
### reclaim
reclaim(): void
Reclaims the **MessageParcel** object that is no longer used.
