json-rpc-shell

json-rpc-shell is a simple shell for running JSON-RPC 2.0 queries.

This software has been created as a replacement for the following shell, which is written in Java: http://software.dzhuvinov.com/json-rpc-2.0-shell.html

Supported transports

  • HTTP

  • HTTPS

  • WebSocket

  • WebSocket over TLS

WebSockets

The WebSocket transport is rather experimental. As the JSON-RPC 2.0 spec doesn’t say almost anything about the underlying transports, I’ll shortly describe the way it’s implemented: every request is sent as a single text message. If it has an "id" field, i.e. it’s not just a notification, the client waits for a message from the server in response.

There’s no support so far for any protocol extensions, nor for specifying the higher-level protocol (the "Sec-Ws-Protocol" HTTP field).

Building and Running

Build dependencies: CMake, pkg-config, help2man, liberty (included), http-parser (included)
Runtime dependencies: libev, Jansson, cURL, readline, openssl

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/pjanouch/json-rpc-shell.git
$ mkdir json-rpc-shell/build
$ cd json-rpc-shell/build
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
$ make

To install the application, you can do either the usual:

# make install

Or you can try telling CMake to make a package for you. For Debian it is:

$ cpack -G DEB
# dpkg -i json-rpc-shell-*.deb

Note that for versions of CMake before 2.8.9, you need to prefix cpack with fakeroot or file ownership will end up wrong.

Run the program with --help to obtain usage information.
