I used Microsoft's Language Server Protocol spec as some inspiration for this update: https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specifications/specification-3-17/#codeLensClientCapabilities
I find this format clearer and more consistent.
Regarding the errors, I have updated the
Unknown Payload
error to-32001
, because the JSON-RPC 2.0 spec explicitly allocated-32000
to-32099
for "implementation specific" errors. It would be great to enumerate the possible errors a client could return during execution of the API, but I think this is an uphill battle. For this reason, I've set aside-32000
as a catch all for exceptions that may occur in an execution client while serving a request. This appears to be the behavior that geth's RPC currently provides.
