JSON RPC

JSON RPC is "A light weight remote procedure call protocol". It allows for the creation of simple RPC-style APIs with human-readable messages that are front-end friendly.

Using JSON RPC with Go-Kit

Using JSON RPC and go-kit together is quite simple.

A JSON RPC server acts as an HTTP Handler, receiving all requests to the JSON RPC's URL. The server looks at the method property of the Request Object, and routes it to the corresponding code.

Each JSON RPC method is implemented as an EndpointCodec, a go-kit Endpoint, sandwiched between a decoder and encoder. The decoder picks apart the JSON RPC request params, which can be passed to your endpoint. The encoder receives the output from the endpoint and encodes a JSON-RPC result.

Example — Add Service

Let's say we want a service that adds two ints together. We'll serve this at http://localhost/rpc. So a request to our sum method will be a POST to http://localhost/rpc with a request body of:

{
    "id": 123,
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "sum",
    "params": {
    	"A": 2,
    	"B": 2
    }
}
EndpointCodecMap

The routing table for incoming JSON RPC requests is the EndpointCodecMap. The key of the map is the JSON RPC method name. Here, we're routing the sum method to an EndpointCodec wrapped around sumEndpoint.

jsonrpc.EndpointCodecMap{
	"sum": jsonrpc.EndpointCodec{
		Endpoint: sumEndpoint,
		Decode:   decodeSumRequest,
		Encode:   encodeSumResponse,
	},
}
Decoder
type DecodeRequestFunc func(context.Context, json.RawMessage) (request interface{}, err error)

A DecodeRequestFunc is given the raw JSON from the params property of the Request object, not the whole request object. It returns an object that will be the input to the Endpoint. For our purposes, the output should be a SumRequest, like this:

type SumRequest struct {
	A, B int
}

So here's our decoder:

func decodeSumRequest(ctx context.Context, msg json.RawMessage) (interface{}, error) {
	var req SumRequest
	err := json.Unmarshal(msg, &req)
	if err != nil {
		return nil, err
	}
	return req, nil
}

So our SumRequest will now be passed to the endpoint. Once the endpoint has done its work, we hand over to the…

Encoder

The encoder takes the output of the endpoint, and builds the raw JSON message that will form the result field of a Response Object. Our result is going to be a plain int. Here's our encoder:

func encodeSumResponse(ctx context.Context, result interface{}) (json.RawMessage, error) {
	sum, ok := result.(int)
	if !ok {
		return nil, errors.New("result is not an int")
	}
	b, err := json.Marshal(sum)
	if err != nil {
		return nil, err
	}
	return b, nil
}
Server

Now that we have an EndpointCodec with decoder, endpoint, and encoder, we can wire up the server:

handler := jsonrpc.NewServer(jsonrpc.EndpointCodecMap{
	"sum": jsonrpc.EndpointCodec{
		Endpoint: sumEndpoint,
		Decode:   decodeSumRequest,
		Encode:   encodeSumResponse,
	},
})
http.Handle("/rpc", handler)
http.ListenAndServe(":80", nil)

With all of this done, our example request above should result in a response like this:

{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "result": 4,
    "error": null
}

Functions

func DefaultErrorEncoder 

func DefaultErrorEncoder(_ context.Context, err error, w http.ResponseWriter)

DefaultErrorEncoder writes the error to the ResponseWriter, as a json-rpc error response, with an InternalError status code. The Error() string of the error will be used as the response error message. If the error implements ErrorCoder, the provided code will be set on the response error. If the error implements Headerer, the given headers will be set.

func DefaultRequestEncoder 

func DefaultRequestEncoder(_ context.Context, req interface{}) (json.RawMessage, error)

DefaultRequestEncoder marshals the given request to JSON.

func DefaultResponseDecoder 

func DefaultResponseDecoder(_ context.Context, res Response) (interface{}, error)

DefaultResponseDecoder unmarshals the result to interface{}, or returns an error, if found.

func ErrorMessage 

func ErrorMessage(code int) string

ErrorMessage returns a message for the JSON RPC error code. It returns the empty string if the code is unknown.

Endpoint returns a usable endpoint that invokes the remote endpoint.

type ClientFinalizerFunc 

type ClientFinalizerFunc func(ctx context.Context, err error)

ClientFinalizerFunc can be used to perform work at the end of a client HTTP request, after the response is returned. The principal intended use is for error logging.

There maybe also no additional response parameters depending on when an error occurs.

type ClientOption 

type ClientOption func(*Client)

ClientOption sets an optional parameter for clients.

func BufferedStream 

func BufferedStream(buffered bool) ClientOption

BufferedStream sets whether the Response.Body is left open, allowing it to be read from later. Useful for transporting a file as a buffered stream.

func ClientAfter 

func ClientAfter(after ...httptransport.ClientResponseFunc) ClientOption

ClientAfter sets the ClientResponseFuncs applied to the server's HTTP response prior to it being decoded. This is useful for obtaining anything from the response and adding onto the context prior to decoding.

ServerBefore functions are executed on the HTTP request object before the request is decoded.

func ServerErrorEncoder 

func ServerErrorEncoder(ee httptransport.ErrorEncoder) ServerOption

func ServerErrorLogger 

func ServerErrorLogger(logger log.Logger) ServerOption

ServerErrorLogger is used to log non-terminal errors. By default, no errors are logged. This is intended as a diagnostic measure. Finer-grained control of error handling, including logging in more detail, should be performed in a custom ServerErrorEncoder or ServerFinalizer, both of which have access to the context.

func ServerFinalizer 

func ServerFinalizer(f httptransport.ServerFinalizerFunc) ServerOption

ServerFinalizer is executed at the end of every HTTP request. By default, no finalizer is registered.
