# jsonrpc++
C++ [JSON-RPC 2.0](http://www.jsonrpc.org/specification) library
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/badaix/jsonrpcpp.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/badaix/jsonrpcpp)
[![Github Releases](https://img.shields.io/github/release/badaix/jsonrpcpp.svg)](https://github.com/badaix/jsonrpcpp/releases)
When grown up, this will be a leightweight JSON-RPC 2.0 C++ library.
### What it is
jsonrpc++ parses and constructs JSON RPC 2.0 objects, like
* [Request](http://www.jsonrpc.org/specification#request_object)
* [Notification](http://www.jsonrpc.org/specification#notification)
* [Parameter](http://www.jsonrpc.org/specification#parameter_structures)
* [Response](http://www.jsonrpc.org/specification#response_object)
* [Error](http://www.jsonrpc.org/specification#error_object)
* [Batch](http://www.jsonrpc.org/specification#batch)
#### Example: Parsing a request
````c++
jsonrpcpp::entity_ptr entity = jsonrpcpp::Parser::parse(R"({"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "subtract", "params": {"subtrahend": 23, "minuend": 42}, "id": 3})");
if (entity->is_request())
{
jsonrpcpp::request_ptr request = dynamic_pointer_cast<jsonrpcpp::Request>(entity);
if (request->method == "subtract")
{
int result = request->params.get<int>("minuend") - request->params.get<int>("subtrahend");
jsonrpcpp::Response response(*request, result);
cout << " Response: " << response.to_json().dump() << "\n";
//will print: {"jsonrpc": "2.0", "result": 19, "id": 3}
}
else
throw jsonrpcpp::MethodNotFoundException(*request);
}
````
### What it not is
jsonrpc++ is completely transport agnostic, i.e. it doesn't care about transportation of the messages and there are no TCP client or server components shipped with this lib.
As JSON backbone [JSON for Modern C++](https://nlohmann.github.io/json/) is used.
## Some code
````c++
jsonrpcpp::entity_ptr entity = jsonrpcpp::Parser::parse(R"({"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "subtract", "params": {"subtrahend": 23, "minuend": 42}, "id": 3})");
if (entity && entity->is_request())
{
jsonrpcpp::request_ptr request = dynamic_pointer_cast<jsonrpcpp::Request>(entity);
cout << " Request: " << request->method << ", id: " << request->id << ", has params: " << !request->params.is_null() << "\n";
if (request->method == "subtract")
{
int result;
if (request->params.is_array())
result = request->params.get<int>(0) - request->params.get<int>(1);
else
result = request->params.get<int>("minuend") - request->params.get<int>("subtrahend");
jsonrpcpp::Response response(*request, result);
cout << " Response: " << response.to_json().dump() << "\n";
}
else if (request->method == "sum")
{
int result = 0;
for (const auto& summand: request->params.param_array)
result += summand.get<int>();
jsonrpcpp::Response response(*request, result);
cout << " Response: " << response.to_json().dump() << "\n";
}
else
{
throw jsonrpcpp::MethodNotFoundException(*request);
}
}
