JSON-RPC over HTTP(S) for PHP

Overview

This package allows you to set up a JSON-RPC client and/or server over HTTP(S), using your own PHP code to evaluate the requests.

This package abstracts away the details of the JSON-RPC messaging format and the HTTP(S) headers that are necessary for the client and server to communicate successfully.

You're free to use your own library to handle the requests. Likewise, you're free to route requests to your server endpoint through any system that you prefer! (See the "examples" folder for ready-to-use examples.)

This package allows you to communicate with a URL endpoint: If don't need to send or receive HTTP(S) headers, but just want to abstract away the internal JSON-RPC messaging format, then you should use the php-json-rpc package instead.

Features

• Correct: fully compliant with the JSON-RPC 2.0 specifications
• Reliable: works in all environments (even when CURL is not installed)
• Flexible: you can choose your own system for interpreting the JSON-RPC method strings
• Minimalistic: just two tiny files
• Ready to use, with working examples

Examples

Client

$client = new Client('http://api.example.com');

$client->query(1, 'add', array(1, 2));

$reply = $client->send();

Server

$api = new Api();

$server = new Server($api);

$server->reply();

See the "examples" folder for more examples.
