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
- WebSockets (RFC 6455) can also be used as a transport rather than HTTP
Documentation
-------------
See the link:json-rpc-shell.adoc[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.
