JSON-RPC Client and Server

Use and provide services using JSON-RPC!

Transports

Custom transports can be easily created. Have a look at JsonRpc::TcpClient.

Features

• Multi-transport
• Doesn't require trailing new-line after JSON documents
• Lenient towards non-conform implementations
• Built-in protection
  • Flood-protection
  • Against huge documents
  • Configurable!

Usage

Here's a quick HTTP client getting your bitcoin testnet wallets balance:

# Sample code for Bitcoin RPC:
require "json_rpc"

# Set up the HTTP client
http_client = HTTP::Client.new("localhost", 18332)
http_client.basic_auth "rpc_user", "rpc_password"

# Turn it into a JSON-RPC client
client = JsonRpc::HttpClient.new http_client

# Check your balance!
pp client.call(Float64, "getbalance")

Source

But there's more to find in samples/:

For a simple case, see tcp_client.cr and tcp_server.cr.

If you want to see a full application, have a look at tcp_chat.cr.
