+
+This library is an implementation of the JSON-RPC specification.
+It supports both the original 1.0 specification, as well as the
+new (proposed) 2.0 specification, which includes batch submission, keyword
+arguments, etc.
+
+It is licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0
+(http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html).
+
+
+About this version
+******************
+
+This is a patched version of the original ``jsonrpclib`` project by
+Josh Marshall, available at https://github.com/joshmarshall/jsonrpclib.
+
+The suffix *-pelix* only indicates that this version works with Pelix Remote
+Services, but it is **not** a Pelix specific implementation.
+
+* This version adds support for Python 3, staying compatible with Python 2.
+* It is now possible to use the dispatch_method argument while extending
+ the SimpleJSONRPCDispatcher, to use a custom dispatcher.
+ This allows to use this package by Pelix Remote Services.
+* It can use thread pools to control the number of threads spawned to handle
+ notification requests and clients connections.
+* The modifications added in other forks of this project have been added:
+
+ * From https://github.com/drdaeman/jsonrpclib:
+
+ * Improved JSON-RPC 1.0 support
+ * Less strict error response handling
+
+ * From https://github.com/tuomassalo/jsonrpclib:
+
+ * In case of a non-pre-defined error, raise an AppError and give access to
+ *error.data*
+
+ * From https://github.com/dejw/jsonrpclib:
+
+ * Custom headers can be sent with request and associated tests
+
+* The support for Unix sockets has been removed, as it is not trivial to convert
+ to Python 3 (and I don't use them)
+* This version cannot be installed with the original ``jsonrpclib``, as it uses
+ the same package name.
+
+
+Summary
+*******
+
+This library implements the JSON-RPC 2.0 proposed specification in pure Python.
+It is designed to be as compatible with the syntax of ``xmlrpclib`` as possible
+(it extends where possible), so that projects using ``xmlrpclib`` could easily
+be modified to use JSON and experiment with the differences.
+
+It is backwards-compatible with the 1.0 specification, and supports all of the
+new proposed features of 2.0, including:
+
+* Batch submission (via MultiCall)
+* Keyword arguments
+* Notifications (both in a batch and 'normal')
+* Class translation using the ``__jsonclass__`` key.
+
+I've added a "SimpleJSONRPCServer", which is intended to emulate the
+"SimpleXMLRPCServer" from the default Python distribution.
+
+
+Requirements
+************
+
+It supports ``cjson`` and ``simplejson``, and looks for the parsers in that
+order (searching first for ``cjson``, then for the *built-in* ``json`` in 2.6+,
+and then the ``simplejson`` external library).
+One of these must be installed to use this library, although if you have a
+standard distribution of 2.6+, you should already have one.
+Keep in mind that ``cjson`` is supposed to be the quickest, I believe, so if
+you are going for full-on optimization you may want to pick it up.
+
+Since library uses ``contextlib`` module, you should have at least Python 2.5
+installed.
+
+
+Installation
+************
+
+You can install this from PyPI with one of the following commands (sudo
+may be required):
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ easy_install jsonrpclib-pelix
+ pip install jsonrpclib-pelix
+
+Alternatively, you can download the source from the GitHub repository
+at http://github.com/tcalmant/jsonrpclib and manually install it
+with the following commands:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ git clone git://github.com/tcalmant/jsonrpclib.git
+ cd jsonrpclib
+ python setup.py install
+
+
+SimpleJSONRPCServer
+*******************
+
+This is identical in usage (or should be) to the SimpleXMLRPCServer in the
+Python standard library. Some of the differences in features are that it
+obviously supports notification, batch calls, class translation (if left on),
+etc.
+Note: The import line is slightly different from the regular SimpleXMLRPCServer,
+since the SimpleJSONRPCServer is distributed within the ``jsonrpclib`` library.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ from jsonrpclib.SimpleJSONRPCServer import SimpleJSONRPCServer
+
+ server = SimpleJSONRPCServer(('localhost', 8080))
+ server.register_function(pow)
+ server.register_function(lambda x,y: x+y, 'add')
+ server.register_function(lambda x: x, 'ping')
+ server.serve_forever()
+
+To start protect the server with SSL, use the following snippet:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ from jsonrpclib.SimpleJSONRPCServer import SimpleJSONRPCServer
+
+ # Setup the SSL socket
+ server = SimpleJSONRPCServer(('localhost', 8080), bind_and_activate=False)
+ server.socket = ssl.wrap_socket(server.socket, certfile='server.pem',
+ server_side=True)
+ server.server_bind()
+ server.server_activate()
+
+ # ... register functions
+ # Start the server
+ server.serve_forever()
+
+
+Notification Thread Pool
+========================
+
+By default, notification calls are handled in the request handling thread.
+It is possible to use a thread pool to handle them, by giving it to the server
+using the ``set_notification_pool()`` method:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ from jsonrpclib.SimpleJSONRPCServer import SimpleJSONRPCServer
+ from jsonrpclib.threadpool import ThreadPool
+
+ # Setup the thread pool: between 0 and 10 threads
+ pool = ThreadPool(max_threads=10, min_threads=0)
+
+ # Don't forget to start it
+ pool.start()
+
+ # Setup the server
+ server = SimpleJSONRPCServer(('localhost', 8080), config)
+ server.set_notification_pool(pool)
+
+ # Register methods
+ server.register_function(pow)
+ server.register_function(lambda x,y: x+y, 'add')
+ server.register_function(lambda x: x, 'ping')
+
+ try:
+ server.serve_forever()
+ finally:
+ # Stop the thread pool (let threads finish their current task)
+ pool.stop()
+ server.set_notification_pool(None)
+
+
+Threaded server
+===============
+
+It is also possible to use a thread pool to handle clients requests, using the
+``PooledJSONRPCServer`` class.
+By default, this class uses pool of 0 to 30 threads. A custom pool can be given
+with the ``thread_pool`` parameter of the class constructor.
+
+The notification pool and the request pool are different: by default, a server
+with a request pool doesn't have a notification pool.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ from jsonrpclib.SimpleJSONRPCServer import PooledJSONRPCServer
+ from jsonrpclib.threadpool import ThreadPool
+
+ # Setup the notification and request pools
+ nofif_pool = ThreadPool(max_threads=10, min_threads=0)
+ request_pool = ThreadPool(max_threads=50, min_threads=10)
+
+ # Don't forget to start them
+ nofif_pool.start()
+ request_pool.start()
+
+ # Setup the server
+ server = PooledJSONRPCServer(('localhost', 8080), config,
+ thread_pool=request_pool)
+ server.set_notification_pool(nofif_pool)
+
+ # Register methods
+ server.register_function(pow)
+ server.register_function(lambda x,y: x+y, 'add')
+ server.register_function(lambda x: x, 'ping')
+
+ try:
+ server.serve_forever()
+ finally:
+ # Stop the thread pools (let threads finish their current task)
+ request_pool.stop()
+ nofif_pool.stop()
+ server.set_notification_pool(None)
+
+Client Usage
+************
+
+This is (obviously) taken from a console session.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ >>> import jsonrpclib
+ >>> server = jsonrpclib.ServerProxy('http://localhost:8080')
+ >>> server.add(5,6)
+ 11
+ >>> server.add(x=5, y=10)
+ 15
+ >>> server._notify.add(5,6)
+ # No result returned...
+ >>> batch = jsonrpclib.MultiCall(server)
+ >>> batch.add(5, 6)
+ >>> batch.ping({'key':'value'})
+ >>> batch._notify.add(4, 30)
+ >>> results = batch()
+ >>> for result in results:
+ >>> ... print(result)
+ 11
+ {'key': 'value'}
+ # Note that there are only two responses -- this is according to spec.
+
+ # Clean up
+ >>> server('close')()
+
+ # Using client history
+ >>> history = jsonrpclib.history.History()
+ >>> server = jsonrpclib.ServerProxy('http://localhost:8080', history=history)
+ >>> server.add(5,6)
+ 11
+ >>> print(history.request)
+ {"id": "f682b956-c8e1-4506-9db4-29fe8bc9fcaa", "jsonrpc": "2.0",
+ "method": "add", "params": [5, 6]}
+ >>> print(history.response)
+ {"id": "f682b956-c8e1-4506-9db4-29fe8bc9fcaa", "jsonrpc": "2.0",
+ "result": 11}
+
+ # Clean up
+ >>> server('close')()
+
+If you need 1.0 functionality, there are a bunch of places you can pass that in,
+although the best is just to give a specific configuration to
+``jsonrpclib.ServerProxy``:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ >>> import jsonrpclib
+ >>> jsonrpclib.config.DEFAULT.version
+ 2.0
+ >>> config = jsonrpclib.config.Config(version=1.0)
+ >>> history = jsonrpclib.history.History()
+ >>> server = jsonrpclib.ServerProxy('http://localhost:8080', config=config,
+ history=history)
+ >>> server.add(7, 10)
+ 17
+ >>> print(history.request)
+ {"id": "827b2923-5b37-49a5-8b36-e73920a16d32",
+ "method": "add", "params": [7, 10]}
+ >>> print(history.response)
+ {"id": "827b2923-5b37-49a5-8b36-e73920a16d32", "error": null, "result": 17}
+ >>> server('close')()
+
+The equivalent ``loads`` and ``dumps`` functions also exist, although with minor
+modifications. The ``dumps`` arguments are almost identical, but it adds three
+arguments: ``rpcid`` for the 'id' key, ``version`` to specify the JSON-RPC
+compatibility, and ``notify`` if it's a request that you want to be a
+notification.
+
+Additionally, the ``loads`` method does not return the params and method like
+``xmlrpclib``, but instead a.) parses for errors, raising ProtocolErrors, and
+b.) returns the entire structure of the request / response for manual parsing.
+
+
+Additional headers
+******************
+
+If your remote service requires custom headers in request, you can pass them
+as as a ``headers`` keyword argument, when creating the ``ServerProxy``:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ >>> import jsonrpclib
+ >>> server = jsonrpclib.ServerProxy("http://localhost:8080",
+ headers={'X-Test' : 'Test'})
+
+You can also put additional request headers only for certain method invocation:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ >>> import jsonrpclib
+ >>> server = jsonrpclib.Server("http://localhost:8080")
+ >>> with server._additional_headers({'X-Test' : 'Test'}) as test_server:
+ ... test_server.ping(42)
+ ...
+ >>> # X-Test header will be no longer sent in requests
+
+Of course ``_additional_headers`` contexts can be nested as well.
+
+
+Class Translation
+*****************
+
+I've recently added "automatic" class translation support, although it is
+turned off by default. This can be devastatingly slow if improperly used, so
+the following is just a short list of things to keep in mind when using it.
+
+* Keep It (the object) Simple Stupid. (for exceptions, keep reading.)
+* Do not require init params (for exceptions, keep reading)
+* Getter properties without setters could be dangerous (read: not tested)
+
+If any of the above are issues, use the _serialize method. (see usage below)
+The server and client must BOTH have use_jsonclass configuration item on and
+they must both have access to the same libraries used by the objects for
+this to work.
+
+If you have excessively nested arguments, it would be better to turn off the
+translation and manually invoke it on specific objects using
+``jsonrpclib.jsonclass.dump`` / ``jsonrpclib.jsonclass.load`` (since the default
+behavior recursively goes through attributes and lists / dicts / tuples).
+
+ Sample file: *test_obj.py*
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ # This object is /very/ simple, and the system will look through the
+ # attributes and serialize what it can.
+ class TestObj(object):
+ foo = 'bar'
+
+ # This object requires __init__ params, so it uses the _serialize method
+ # and returns a tuple of init params and attribute values (the init params
+ # can be a dict or a list, but the attribute values must be a dict.)
+ class TestSerial(object):
+ foo = 'bar'
+ def __init__(self, *args):
+ self.args = args
+ def _serialize(self):
+ return (self.args, {'foo':self.foo,})
+
+* Sample usage
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ >>> import jsonrpclib
+ >>> import test_obj
+
+ # History is used only to print the serialized form of beans
+ >>> history = jsonrpclib.history.History()
+ >>> testobj1 = test_obj.TestObj()
+ >>> testobj2 = test_obj.TestSerial()
+ >>> server = jsonrpclib.Server('http://localhost:8080', history=history)
+
+ # The 'ping' just returns whatever is sent
+ >>> ping1 = server.ping(testobj1)
+ >>> ping2 = server.ping(testobj2)
+
+ >>> print(history.request)
+ {"id": "7805f1f9-9abd-49c6-81dc-dbd47229fe13", "jsonrpc": "2.0",
+ "method": "ping", "params": [{"__jsonclass__":
+ ["test_obj.TestSerial", []], "foo": "bar"}
+ ]}
+ >>> print(history.response)
+ {"id": "7805f1f9-9abd-49c6-81dc-dbd47229fe13", "jsonrpc": "2.0",
+ "result": {"__jsonclass__": ["test_obj.TestSerial", []], "foo": "bar"}}
+
+This behavior is turned by default. To deactivate it, just set the
+``use_jsonclass`` member of a server ``Config`` to False.
+If you want to use a per-class serialization method, set its name in the
+``serialize_method`` member of a server ``Config``.
+Finally, if you are using classes that you have defined in the implementation
+(as in, not a separate library), you'll need to add those (on BOTH the server
+and the client) using the ``config.classes.add()`` method.
+
+Feedback on this "feature" is very, VERY much appreciated.
+
+Why JSON-RPC?
+*************
+
+In my opinion, there are several reasons to choose JSON over XML for RPC:
+
+* Much simpler to read (I suppose this is opinion, but I know I'm right. :)
+* Size / Bandwidth - Main reason, a JSON object representation is just much smaller.
+* Parsing - JSON should be much quicker to parse than XML.
+* Easy class passing with ``jsonclass`` (when enabled)
+
+In the interest of being fair, there are also a few reasons to choose XML
+over JSON:
+
+* Your server doesn't do JSON (rather obvious)
+* Wider XML-RPC support across APIs (can we change this? :))
+* Libraries are more established, i.e. more stable (Let's change this too.)
+
+Tests
+*****
+
+Tests are an almost-verbatim drop from the JSON-RPC specification 2.0 page.
+They can be run using *unittest* or *nosetest*:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ python -m unittest discover tests
+ python3 -m unittest discover tests
+ nosetests tests
