This is a developer-focused package that disables the XML-RPC protocol on a content management system, primarily to eliminate a common attack vector. It is intended for developers and site administrators who need to harden their site's security but may not have direct server access, such as on managed hosting platforms.

• Disable Authenticated Methods: Prevents all XML-RPC methods that require user authentication from functioning, blocking a primary route for brute-force attacks.
• Remove XML-RPC Methods: Clears out both core and third-party XML-RPC methods entirely, ensuring the protocol is fully deactivated.
• Limit XML Parsing: Restricts the number of elements parsed in an XML-RPC response, causing most related requests to fail as an additional security measure.
• Native Integration: Works exclusively through the platform's built-in action and filter hooks, ensuring compatibility and avoiding conflicts with core files.
• Clear Hosting Use Case: Specifically designed for environments where server configuration files are not accessible, providing a code-level solution for security hardening.
