I haven't tested it with real wide characters but it will have to do. I wasn't even sure if this piece of crap could be coerced into doing this at first, so it's a win for me. It uses a variation of the code in degesch where we /don't/ want to print the list of candidates on partial failure. Updates #1 |

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
Features
In addition to most of the features provided by Vladimir Dzhuvinov’s shell you get the following niceties:
-
configurable JSON syntax highlight, which with prettyprinting turned on helps you make sense of the results significantly
-
ability to pipe output through a shell command, so that you can view the results in your favourite editor or redirect them to a file
-
ability to edit the input line in your favourite editor as well with Alt+E
-
WebSockets (RFC 6455) can also be used as a transport rather than HTTP
Documentation
See the man page for information about usage. The rest of this README will concern itself with externalities.
Packages
Regular releases are sporadic. git master should be stable enough. You can get a package with the latest development version from Archlinux’s AUR.
Building
Build dependencies: CMake, pkg-config, asciidoctor,
liberty (included), http-parser (included)
Runtime dependencies: libev, Jansson, cURL, openssl,
readline or libedit >= 2013-07-12,
Avoid libedit if you can, in general it works but at the moment history is acting up and I have no clue about fixing it. Multiline editing is also misbehaving there.
$ git clone --recursive https://git.janouch.name/p/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.
Test server
If you install development packages for libmagic, an included test server will
be built but not installed which provides a trivial JSON-RPC 2.0 service with
FastCGI, SCGI, and WebSocket interfaces. It responds to ping and date
methods and it can serve static files.
