    <ul>
      <li>You don't have to launch a full JVM and make a remote JMX connection
      just to ask for one small piece of data from a runing server</li>
      <li>You don't have to know how to work with JMX connections</li>
      <li>You don't need any of the complex configuration covered in the rest
      of this page</li>
      <li>Your client program does not have to be written in Java</li>
    </ul>
