The JSON-RPC 2.0 Specification

[duurland]

In the docs it's said that Wox use the JSON-RPC Spec to communicate with its plugins, however, it doesnt seem to actually follow the specification.

A valid request to a plugin, according to the spec, looks like this

{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "query",
    "params": ["hello world"],
    "id": 1
}

This is the payload our plugins currently get from Wox

{
    "method": "query",
    "parameters": ["hello world"],
}

The only part Wox actually got right is the method key.

jsonrpc: While I can see why this can be omitted, I don't think it's a bad idea to be explicit about what protocol is being used when communicating with other plugins/processes, specially for future backward compatibility.

params: The specs and Woxs doc both mention the params key for the parameters, but for some reason the actual payload use parameters instead.

id: All requests that expects a response (ie the query function) should include an ID, which should also be sent back in the response along with the result. This is currently omitted.

The specs also mention an error key in our response, but as far as I can tell that data is also being ignored.
