Overview ¶
Package jsonrpc2 implements a JSON-RPC 2.0 ClientCodec and ServerCodec for the net/rpc package and HTTP transport for JSON-RPC 2.0.
RPC method's signature ¶
JSON-RPC 2.0 support positional and named parameters. Which one should be used when calling server's method depends on type of that method's first parameter: if it is an Array or Slice then positional parameters should be used, if it is a Map or Struct then named parameters should be used. (Also any method can be called without parameters at all.) If first parameter will be of custom type with json.Unmarshaler interface then it depends on what is supported by that type - this way you can even implement method which can be called both with positional and named parameters.
JSON-RPC 2.0 support result of any type, so method's result (second param) can be a reference of any type supported by json.Marshal.
JSON-RPC 2.0 support error codes and optional extra error data in addition to error message. If method returns error of standard error type (i.e. just error message without error code) then error code -32000 will be used. To define custom error code (and optionally extra error data) method should return jsonrpc2.Error.
Using positional parameters of different types ¶
If you'll have to provide method which should be called using positional parameters of different types then it's recommended to implement this using first parameter of custom type with json.Unmarshaler interface.
To call such a method you'll have to use client.Call() with []interface{} in args.
Using context to provide transport-level details with parameters ¶
If you want to have access to transport-level details (or any other request context data) in RPC method then first parameter of that RPC method should provide WithContext interface. (If first parameter is a struct then you can just embed Ctx into your struct as shown in example.)
This way you can get access to client IP address or details of client HTTP request etc. in RPC method.
Decoding errors on client ¶
Because of net/rpc limitations client.Call() can't return JSON-RPC 2.0 error with code, message and extra data - it'll return either one of rpc.ErrShutdown or io.ErrUnexpectedEOF errors, or encoded JSON-RPC 2.0 error, which have to be decoded using jsonrpc2.ServerError to get error's code, message and extra data.
Limitations ¶
HTTP client&server does not support Pipelined Requests/Responses.
HTTP client&server does not support GET Request.
HTTP client does not support Batch Request.
Because of net/rpc limitations RPC method MUST NOT return standard error which begins with '{' and ends with '}'.
Current implementation does a lot of sanity checks to conform to protocol spec. Making most of them optional may improve performance.

Functions ¶
func HTTPHandler ¶
HTTPHandler returns handler for HTTP requests which will execute incoming JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTP using srv.
If srv is nil then rpc.DefaultServer will be used.
Specification: http://www.simple-is-better.org/json-rpc/transport_http.html
func HTTPRequestFromContext ¶
HTTPRequestFromContext returns HTTP request related to this RPC (if you use HTTPHander to serve JSON RPC 2.0 over HTTP) or nil otherwise.
func NewServerCodec ¶
func NewServerCodec(conn io.ReadWriteCloser, srv *rpc.Server) rpc.ServerCodec
NewServerCodec returns a new rpc.ServerCodec using JSON-RPC 2.0 on conn, which will use srv to execute batch requests.
If srv is nil then rpc.DefaultServer will be used.
For most use cases NewServerCodec is too low-level and you should use ServeConn instead. You'll need NewServerCodec if you wanna register your own object of type named "JSONRPC2" (same as used internally to process batch requests) or you wanna use custom rpc server object instead of rpc.DefaultServer to process requests on conn.
func NewServerCodecContext ¶
func NewServerCodecContext(ctx context.Context, conn io.ReadWriteCloser, srv *rpc.Server) rpc.ServerCodec
NewServerCodecContext is NewServerCodec with given context provided within parameters for compatible RPC methods.
func ServeConn ¶
func ServeConn(conn io.ReadWriteCloser)
ServeConn runs the JSON-RPC 2.0 server on a single connection. ServeConn blocks, serving the connection until the client hangs up. The caller typically invokes ServeConn in a go statement.
func ServeConnContext ¶
func ServeConnContext(ctx context.Context, conn io.ReadWriteCloser)
ServeConnContext is ServeConn with given context provided within parameters for compatible RPC methods.
Types ¶
type BatchArg ¶
type BatchArg struct { Ctx // contains filtered or unexported fields }
BatchArg is a param for internal RPC JSONRPC2.Batch.
type Client ¶
Client represents a JSON RPC 2.0 Client. There may be multiple outstanding Calls associated with a single Client, and a Client may be used by multiple goroutines simultaneously.
It also provides all methods of net/rpc Client.
func NewClient ¶
func NewClient(conn io.ReadWriteCloser) *Client
NewClient returns a new Client to handle requests to the set of services at the other end of the connection.
func NewCustomHTTPClient ¶
NewCustomHTTPClient returns a new Client to handle requests to the set of services at the given url using provided doer (&http.Client{} by default).
Use doer to customize HTTP authorization/headers/etc. sent with each request (it method Do() will receive already configured POST request with url, all required headers and body set according to specification).
func NewHTTPClient ¶
NewHTTPClient returns a new Client to handle requests to the set of services at the given url.
type Ctx ¶
type Ctx struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
Ctx can be embedded into your struct with RPC method parameters (if that method parameters type is a struct) to make it implement WithContext interface and thus have access to request context.
func (*Ctx) SetContext ¶
SetContext saves ctx for succeeding Context calls.
type DoerFunc ¶
The DoerFunc type is an adapter to allow the use of ordinary functions as HTTP clients. If f is a function with the appropriate signature, DoerFunc(f) is a client that calls f.
type Error ¶
type Error struct { Code int `json:"code"` Message string `json:"message"` Data interface{} `json:"data,omitempty"` }
Error represent JSON-RPC 2.0 "Error object".
func ServerError ¶
ServerError convert errors returned by Client.Call() into Error. User should check for rpc.ErrShutdown and io.ErrUnexpectedEOF before calling ServerError.
type JSONRPC2 ¶
type JSONRPC2 struct{}
JSONRPC2 is an internal RPC service used to process batch requests.
type WithContext ¶
WithContext is an interface which should be implemented by RPC method parameters type if you need access to request context in RPC method.
Request context will be same as was provided to corresponding ServeConnContext/NewServerCodecContext or context.Background otherwise.
