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).
