json-rpc-shell
==============
:compact-option:
'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
Supported transports
--------------------
- HTTP
- HTTPS
- WebSocket
- WebSocket over TLS
WebSockets
~~~~~~~~~~
The JSON-RPC 2.0 spec doesn't say almost anything about underlying transports.
The way it's implemented here is that 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).
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, or from
openSUSE Build Service for the rest of mainstream distributions. Consult the
list of repositories and their respective links at:
https://build.opensuse.org/project/repositories/home:pjanouch:git
Building and Usage
------------------
Build dependencies: CMake, pkg-config, help2man,
liberty (included), http-parser (included) +
Runtime dependencies: libev, Jansson, cURL, openssl,
readline or libedit >= 2013-07-12,
$ 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.
