futures-jsonrpc
Futures + JSON-RPC
A lightweight remote procedure call protocol. It is designed to be simple! And, with futures, even more flexible!
This crate will associate Futures with method signatures via register_method, and parse/handle JSON-RPC messages via handle_message.
It is fully compliant with JSON-RPC 2.0 Specification.
Contributing
The crate is not test covered yet! Any PR with a test coverage will be much appreciated :)
Installation
Add this to your Cargo.toml
:
[dependencies]
futures-jsonrpc = "0.2"
Minimal example
use futures_jsonrpc::futures::prelude::*;
use futures_jsonrpc::*;
use serde_json::Number;
// This macro will avoid some boilerplating, leaving only the `Future` implementation to be done
//
// Check for additional information in the detailed explanation below
//
// Also, check `generate_method_with_data_and_future` and `generate_method_with_lifetime_data_and_future`
generate_method!(

type Error = ErrorVariant;
fn poll(&mut self) -> Result<Async<Self::Item>, Self::Error> {
let request = self.get_request()?;

let message = JrpcResponseParam::generate_result(params)
.and_then(|result| request.generate_response(result))?;
Ok(Async::Ready(Some(message)))
}
}
);
fn main() {

// requests.
//
// This is full `Arc`/`RwLock` protected. Therefore, it can be freely copied/sent among
// threads.
