jsonrpc-go

Package jsonrpc implements a microframework for writing JSON-RPC web applications.

Methods

Methods are defined as:

func(ctx context.Context, params T) (interface{}, error) // JSON unmarshable params
func(ctx context.Context) (interface{}, error)           // no params

where T can be any time which can be unmarshaled from JSON (structs and primitives).

If a method returns a value along with a nil error, the value will be rendered to the client as JSON.

If an error is returned, it will be sanitized and returned to the client as json. Errors generated by a call to jsonrpc.Error(name, message, args) will be rendered as-is to the client. Any other errors will be obfuscated to the caller (unless server.DumpErrors is enabled).

Spec

jsonrpc loosely follows the JSON-RPC 2.0 Specification, with some notable differences:

• the version parameter is not expected, and will not be returned
• errors include a Name string, rather than an integer Code

Example

var logger = log.New(os.Stderr, "server: ", 0)

func main() {
	server := jsonrpc.New()
	server.Use(LoggingMiddleware(logger))
	server.Register(jsonrpc.Methods{
		"Hello": hello,
	})

	http.ListenAndServe(":80", server)
}

type helloParams struct {
	Name string `json:"name"`
}

func hello(ctx context.Context, params *helloParams) (interface{}, error) {
	return jsonrpc.M{"message": fmt.Sprintf("Hello, %s", params.Name)}, nil
}

func LoggingMiddleware(logger *logger.Logger) Middleware {
	return func (next jsonrpc.Next) jsonrpc.Next {
		return func(ctx context.Context, params interface{}) (interface{}, error) {
			method := jsonrpc.MethodFromContext(ctx)
			start := time.Now()
			defer func() {
				logger.Printf("%s (%v)\n", method, time.Since(start))
			}()
			return next(ctx, params)
		}
	}
}

Request:

{
	"id": 1,
	"method": "Hello",
	"params": {
		"name": "Alice"
	}
}

Response:

{
	"id": 1,
	"result": {
		"message": "Hello, Alice!"
	}
}
