JSON-RPC transport implementation
Project description
JSON-RPC2.0 and JSON-RPC1.0 transport specification implementation. Supports Python 2.6+, Python 3.3+, PyPy. Has optional Django and Flask support. 200+ tests.
Features
This implementation does not have any transport functionality realization, only protocol. Any client or server implementation is easy based on current code, but requires transport libraries, such as requests, gevent or zmq, see examples.
Vanilla Python, no dependencies.
200+ tests for multiple edge cases.
Optional backend support for Django, Flask.
json-rpc 1.1 and 2.0 support.
Install
pip install json-rpcTests
Quickstart
This is an essential part of the library as there are a lot of edge cases in JSON-RPC standard. To manage a variety of supported python versions as well as optional backends json-rpc uses tox:
toxContinuous integration
This project uses CircleCI for continuous integration. All of the python supported versions are managed via tox.ini and .circleci/config.yml files. Master branch test status is displayed on the badge in the beginning of this document.
Test matrix
json-rpc supports multiple python versions: 2.6+, 3.3+, pypy. This introduces difficulties with testing libraries and optional dependencies management. For example, python before version 3.3 does not support mock and there is a limited support for unittest2. Every dependency translates into if-then blocks in the source code and adds complexity to it. Hence, while cross-python support is a core feature of this library, cross-Django or cross-Flask support is limited. In general, json-rpc uses latest stable release which supports current python version. For example, python 2.6 is compatible with Django 1.6 and not compatible with any future versions.
