GValueArray still exists in GLib, it's just not recommended for new
APIs. You can use the G_GNUC_BEGIN_IGNORE_DEPRECATIONS /
G_GNUC_END_IGNORE_DEPRECATIONS annotations around code using GValueArray
to prevent gcc warnings about it.

Additionally, in libsoup 2.52 and later, there is a new XML-RPC API
based on GVariant rather than GValue.
