JSON-RPC 2 Go supporting library

• Formal specification

The library aims to bring JSON-RPC 2.0 support to Go. Goals:

• Type safe by code-generation
• Reasonable good performance
• Clean, extendable and easy-to use interface
• Protocol-agnostic solution with adapters for common-cases (HTTP, TCP, etc...)

Installation

• (recommended) look at releases page and download
• build from source go get -v github.com/reddec/jsonrpc2/cmd/...
• From bintray repository for most debian-based distribution (trusty, xenial, bionic, buster, wheezy):

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 379CE192D401AB61
echo "deb https://dl.bintray.com/reddec/debian {distribution} main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt install jsonrpc2

Build requirements

• go 1.13+

Example

Assume you have an interface file (user.go) like this:

package abc

// General user profile access
type User interface {
	// Get user profile
	Profile(token string) (*Profile, error)
}

Just invoke jsonrpc2-gen -i user.go -o user_gen.go -I User -p abc

You will get user_gen.go file like that:

// Code generated by jsonrpc2-gen. DO NOT EDIT.
//go:generate jsonrpc2-gen -i user.go -o user_gen.go -I User -p abc
package abc

import (
	"encoding/json"
	jsonrpc2 "github.com/reddec/jsonrpc2"
)

func RegisterUser(router *jsonrpc2.Router, wrap User) []string {
	router.RegisterFunc("User.Profile", func(params json.RawMessage, positional bool) (interface{}, error) {
		var args struct {
			Arg0 string `json:"token"`
		}
		var err error
		if positional {
			err = jsonrpc2.UnmarshalArray(params, &args.Arg0)
		} else {
			err = json.Unmarshal(params, &args)
		}
		if err != nil {
			return nil, err
		}
		return wrap.Profile(args.Arg0)
	})

	return []string{"User.Profile"}
}

Generate documentation

Add -doc user.md to generate documentations as described bellow. It will be generated and saved to the provided file (user.md)

# User

General user profile access


## User.Profile

Get user profile

* Method: `User.Profile`
* Returns: `*Profile`
* Arguments:

| Position | Name | Type |
|----------|------|------|
| 0 | token | `string` |
