JSON-RPC for PHP

Overview

This package allows you to create and evaluate JSON-RPC messages, using your own PHP code to evaluate the requests.

This package allows you to create and evaluate any JSON-RPC message. It implements the JSON-RPC specifications, but does not provide a transport layer—which you'll also need if you want to send or receive messages over a distance! One of the beautiful features of JSON-RPC is that you can use any transport layer to carry your messages: This package gives you that option.

If you're looking for an end-to-end solution, with the transport layer included, then you should use one of these alternative packages instead:

• To send messages over HTTP(S), use the php-json-rpc-http package.
• To send messages over SSH, use the php-json-rpc-ssh package.

Features

• Correct: fully compliant with the JSON-RPC 2.0 specifications (100% unit-test coverage)
• Flexible: you can use your own code to evaluate the JSON-RPC method strings
• Minimalistic: extremely lightweight
• Ready to use, with working examples

Examples

Client

$client = new Client();

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

$message = $client->encode();

// message: {"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"add","params":[1,2],"id":1}

Server

$api = new Api();

$server = new Server($api);

$reply = $server->reply($message);

// reply: {"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":3,"id":1}

See the examples folder for full working examples.
