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 |
