+# JSON-RPC 2.0 Client for golang
+A go implementation of an rpc client using json as data format over http.
+The implementation is based on the JSON-RPC 2.0 specification: http://www.jsonrpc.org/specification
+
+Supports:
+- requests with arbitrary parameters
+- convenient response retrieval
+- batch requests
+- custom http client (e.g. proxy, tls config)
+- custom headers (e.g. basic auth)
+
+## Installation
+
+```sh
+go get -u github.com/ybbus/jsonrpc
+```
+
+## Getting started
+Let's say we want to retrieve a person struct with a specific id using rpc-json over http.
+Then we want to save this person after we changed a property.
+(Error handling is omitted here)
+
+```go
+type Person struct {
+    Id   int `json:"id"`
+    Name string `json:"name"`
+    Age  int `json:"age"`
+}
+
+func main() {
+    rpcClient := jsonrpc.NewClient("http://my-rpc-service:8080/rpc")
+
+    var person *Person
+    rpcClient.CallFor(&person, "getPersonById", 4711)
+
+    person.Age = 33
+    rpcClient.Call("updatePerson", person)
+}
+```
+
+## In detail
+
+### Generating rpc-json requests
+
+Let's start by executing a simple json-rpc http call:
+In production code: Always make sure to check err != nil first!
+
+This calls generate and send a valid rpc-json object. (see: http://www.jsonrpc.org/specification#request_object)
+
+```go
+func main() {
+    rpcClient := jsonrpc.NewClient("http://my-rpc-service:8080/rpc")
+    rpcClient.Call("getDate")
+    // generates body: {"method":"getDate","id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0"}
+}
+```
+
+Call a function with parameter:
+
+```go
+func main() {
+    rpcClient := jsonrpc.NewClient("http://my-rpc-service:8080/rpc")
+    rpcClient.Call("addNumbers", 1, 2)
+    // generates body: {"method":"addNumbers","params":[1,2],"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0"}
+}
+```
+
+Call a function with arbitrary parameters:
+
+```go
+func main() {
+    rpcClient := jsonrpc.NewClient("http://my-rpc-service:8080/rpc")
+    rpcClient.Call("createPerson", "Alex", 33, "Germany")
+    // generates body: {"method":"createPerson","params":["Alex",33,"Germany"],"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0"}
+}
+```
+
+Call a function providing custom data structures as parameters:
+
+```go
+type Person struct {
+  Name    string `json:"name"`
+  Age     int `json:"age"`
+  Country string `json:"country"`
+}
+func main() {
+    rpcClient := jsonrpc.NewClient("http://my-rpc-service:8080/rpc")
+    rpcClient.Call("createPerson", &Person{"Alex", 33, "Germany"})
+    // generates body: {"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"createPerson","params":{"name":"Alex","age":33,"country":"Germany"},"id":1}
+}
+```
+
+Complex example:
+
+```go
+type Person struct {
+  Name    string `json:"name"`
+  Age     int `json:"age"`
+  Country string `json:"country"`
+}
+func main() {
+    rpcClient := jsonrpc.NewClient("http://my-rpc-service:8080/rpc")
+    rpcClient.Call("createPersonsWithRole", &Person{"Alex", 33, "Germany"}, &Person{"Barney", 38, "Germany"}, []string{"Admin", "User"})
+    // generates body: {"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"createPersonsWithRole","params":[{"name":"Alex","age":33,"country":"Germany"},{"name":"Barney","age":38,"country":"Germany"},["Admin","User"]],"id":1}
+}
+```
+
+Some examples and resulting JSON-RPC objects:
+
+```go
+rpcClient.Call("missingParam")
+{"method":"missingParam"}
+
+rpcClient.Call("nullParam", nil)
+{"method":"nullParam","params":[null]}
+
+rpcClient.Call("boolParam", true)
+{"method":"boolParam","params":[true]}
+
+rpcClient.Call("boolParams", true, false, true)
+{"method":"boolParams","params":[true,false,true]}
+
+rpcClient.Call("stringParam", "Alex")
+{"method":"stringParam","params":["Alex"]}
+
+rpcClient.Call("stringParams", "JSON", "RPC")
+{"method":"stringParams","params":["JSON","RPC"]}
+
+rpcClient.Call("numberParam", 123)
+{"method":"numberParam","params":[123]}
+
+rpcClient.Call("numberParams", 123, 321)
+{"method":"numberParams","params":[123,321]}
+
+rpcClient.Call("floatParam", 1.23)
+{"method":"floatParam","params":[1.23]}
+
+rpcClient.Call("floatParams", 1.23, 3.21)
+{"method":"floatParams","params":[1.23,3.21]}
+
+rpcClient.Call("manyParams", "Alex", 35, true, nil, 2.34)
+{"method":"manyParams","params":["Alex",35,true,null,2.34]}
+
+rpcClient.Call("singlePointerToStruct", &person)
+{"method":"singlePointerToStruct","params":{"name":"Alex","age":35,"country":"Germany"}}
+
+rpcClient.Call("multipleStructs", &person, &drink)
+{"method":"multipleStructs","params":[{"name":"Alex","age":35,"country":"Germany"},{"name":"Cuba Libre","ingredients":["rum","cola"]}]}
+
+rpcClient.Call("singleStructInArray", []*Person{&person})
+{"method":"singleStructInArray","params":[{"name":"Alex","age":35,"country":"Germany"}]}
+
+rpcClient.Call("namedParameters", map[string]interface{}{
+	"name": "Alex",
+	"age":  35,
+})
+{"method":"namedParameters","params":{"age":35,"name":"Alex"}}
+
+rpcClient.Call("anonymousStruct", struct {
+	Name string `json:"name"`
+	Age  int    `json:"age"`
+}{"Alex", 33})
+{"method":"anonymousStructWithTags","params":{"name":"Alex","age":33}}
+
+rpcClient.Call("structWithNullField", struct {
+	Name    string  `json:"name"`
+	Address *string `json:"address"`
+}{"Alex", nil})
+{"method":"structWithNullField","params":{"name":"Alex","address":null}}
+```
+
+### Working with rpc-json responses
+
+
+Before working with the response object, make sure to check err != nil.
+Also keep in mind that the json-rpc result field can be nil even on success.
+
+```go
+func main() {
+    rpcClient := jsonrpc.NewClient("http://my-rpc-service:8080/rpc")
+    response, err := rpcClient.Call("addNumbers", 1, 2)
+    if err != nil {
+      // error handling goes here e.g. network / http error
+    }
+}
+```
+
+If an http error occurred, maybe you are interested in the error code (403 etc.)
+```go
+func main() {
+    rpcClient := jsonrpc.NewClient("http://my-rpc-service:8080/rpc")
+    response, err := rpcClient.Call("addNumbers", 1, 2)
+
+    switch e := err.(type) {
+      case nil: // if error is nil, do nothing
+      case *HTTPError:
+        // use e.Code here
+        return
+      default:
+        // any other error
+        return
+    }
+
+    // no error, go on...
+}
+```
+
+The next thing you have to check is if an rpc-json protocol error occurred. This is done by checking if the Error field in the rpc-response != nil:
+(see: http://www.jsonrpc.org/specification#error_object)
+
+```go
+func main() {
+    rpcClient := jsonrpc.NewClient("http://my-rpc-service:8080/rpc")
+    response, err := rpcClient.Call("addNumbers", 1, 2)
+    if err != nil {
+        //error handling goes here
+    }
+
+    if response.Error != nil {
+        // rpc error handling goes here
+        // check response.Error.Code, response.Error.Message and optional response.Error.Data
+    }
+}
+```
+
+After making sure that no errors occurred you can now examine the RPCResponse object.
+When executing a json-rpc request, most of the time you will be interested in the "result"-property of the returned json-rpc response object.
+(see: http://www.jsonrpc.org/specification#response_object)
+The library provides some helper functions to retrieve the result in the data format you are interested in.
+Again: check for err != nil here to be sure the expected type was provided in the response and could be parsed.
+
+```go
+func main() {
+    rpcClient := jsonrpc.NewClient("http://my-rpc-service:8080/rpc")
+    response, _ := rpcClient.Call("addNumbers", 1, 2)
+
+    result, err := response.GetInt()
+    if err != nil {
+        // result cannot be unmarshalled as integer
+    }
+
+    // helpers provided for all primitive types:
+    response.GetInt()
+    response.GetFloat()
+    response.GetString()
+    response.GetBool()
+}
+```
+
+Retrieving arrays and objects is also very simple:
+
+```go
+// json annotations are only required to transform the structure back to json
+type Person struct {
+    Id   int `json:"id"`
+    Name string `json:"name"`
+    Age  int `json:"age"`
+}
+
+func main() {
+    rpcClient := jsonrpc.NewClient("http://my-rpc-service:8080/rpc")
+    response, _ := rpcClient.Call("getPersonById", 123)
+
+    var person *Person
+    err := response.GetObject(&person) // expects a rpc-object result value like: {"id": 123, "name": "alex", "age": 33}
+    if err != nil || person == nil {
+        // some error on json unmarshal level or json result field was null
+    }
+
+    fmt.Println(person.Name)
+
+    // we can also set default values if they are missing from the result, or result == null:
+    person2 := &Person{
+        Id: 0,
+        Name: "<empty>",
+        Age: -1,
+    }
+    err := response.GetObject(&person2) // expects a rpc-object result value like: {"id": 123, "name": "alex", "age": 33}
+    if err != nil || person2 == nil {
+        // some error on json unmarshal level or json result field was null
+    }
+
+    fmt.Println(person2.Name) // prints "<empty>" if "name" field was missing in result-json
+}
+```
+
+Retrieving arrays:
+
+```go
+func main() {
+    rpcClient := jsonrpc.NewClient("http://my-rpc-service:8080/rpc")
+    response, _ := rpcClient.Call("getRandomNumbers", 10)
+
+    rndNumbers := []int{}
+    err := response.GetObject(&rndNumbers) // expects a rpc-object result value like: [10, 188, 14, 3]
+    if err != nil {
+        // do error handling
+    }
+
+    for _, num := range rndNumbers {
+        fmt.Printf("%v\n", num)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Using convenient function CallFor()
+A very handy way to quickly invoke methods and retrieve results is by using CallFor()
+
+You can directly provide an object where the result should be stored. Be sure to provide it be reference.
+An error is returned if:
+- there was an network / http error
+- RPCError object is not nil (err can be casted to this object)
+- rpc result could not be parsed into provided object
+
+One of te above examples could look like this:
+
+```go
+// json annotations are only required to transform the structure back to json
+type Person struct {
+    Id   int `json:"id"`
+    Name string `json:"name"`
+    Age  int `json:"age"`
+}
+
+func main() {
+    rpcClient := jsonrpc.NewClient("http://my-rpc-service:8080/rpc")
+
+    var person *Person
+    err := rpcClient.CallFor(&person, "getPersonById", 123)
+
+    if err != nil || person == nil {
+      // handle error
+    }
+
+    fmt.Println(person.Name)
+}
+```
+
+Most of the time it is ok to check if a struct field is 0, empty string "" etc. to check if it was provided by the json rpc response.
+But if you want to be sure that a JSON-RPC response field was missing or not, you should use pointers to the fields.
+This is just a single example since all this Unmarshaling is standard go json functionality, exactly as if you would call json.Unmarshal(rpcResponse.ResultAsByteArray, &objectToStoreResult)
+
+```
+type Person struct {
+    Id   *int    `json:"id"`
+    Name *string `json:"name"`
+    Age  *int    `json:"age"`
+}
+
+func main() {
+    rpcClient := jsonrpc.NewClient("http://my-rpc-service:8080/rpc")
+
+    var person *Person
+    err := rpcClient.CallFor(&person, "getPersonById", 123)
+
+    if err != nil || person == nil {
+      // handle error
+    }
+
+    if person.Name == nil {
+      // json rpc response did not provide a field "name" in the result object
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Using RPC Batch Requests
+
+You can send multiple RPC-Requests in one single HTTP request using RPC Batch Requests.
+
+```
+func main() {
+    rpcClient := jsonrpc.NewClient("http://my-rpc-service:8080/rpc")
+
+    response, _ := rpcClient.CallBatch(RPCRequests{
+      NewRequest("myMethod1", 1, 2, 3),
+      NewRequest("anotherMethod", "Alex", 35, true),
+      NewRequest("myMethod2", &Person{
+        Name: "Emmy",
+        Age: 4,
+      }),
+    })
+}
+```
+
+Keep the following in mind:
+- the request / response id's are important to map the requests to the responses. CallBatch() automatically sets the ids to requests[i].ID == i
+- the response can be provided in an unordered and maybe incomplete form
+- when you want to set the id yourself use, CallRaw()
+
+There are some helper methods for batch request results:
+```
+func main() {
+    // [...]
+
+    result.HasErrors() // returns true if one of the rpc response objects has Error field != nil
+    resultMap := result.AsMap() // returns a map for easier retrieval of requests
+
+    if response123, ok := resultMap[123]; ok {
+      // response object with id 123 exists, use it here
+      // response123.ID == 123
+      response123.GetObjectAs(&person)
+      // ...
+    }
+
+}
+```
+
+### Raw functions
+There are also Raw function calls. Consider the non Raw functions first, unless you know what you are doing.
+You can create invalid json rpc requests and have to take care of id's etc. yourself.
+Also check documentation of Params() for raw requests.
+
+### Custom Headers, Basic authentication
+
+If the rpc-service is running behind a basic authentication you can easily set the Authorization header:
+
+```go
+func main() {
+    rpcClient := jsonrpc.NewClientWithOpts("http://my-rpc-service:8080/rpc", &jsonrpc.RPCClientOpts{
+   		CustomHeaders: map[string]string{
+   			"Authorization": "Basic " + base64.StdEncoding.EncodeToString([]byte("myUser"+":"+"mySecret")),
+   		},
+   	})
+    response, _ := rpcClient.Call("addNumbers", 1, 2) // send with Authorization-Header
+}
+```
+
+### Using oauth
+
+Using oauth is also easy, e.g. with clientID and clientSecret authentication
+
+```go
+func main() {
+		credentials := clientcredentials.Config{
+    		ClientID:     "myID",
+    		ClientSecret: "mySecret",
+    		TokenURL:     "http://mytokenurl",
+    	}
+
+    	rpcClient := jsonrpc.NewClientWithOpts("http://my-rpc-service:8080/rpc", &jsonrpc.RPCClientOpts{
+    		HTTPClient: credentials.Client(context.Background()),
+    	})
+
+	// requests now retrieve and use an oauth token
+}
+```
+
+### Set a custom httpClient
+
+If you have some special needs on the http.Client of the standard go library, just provide your own one.
+For example to use a proxy when executing json-rpc calls:
+
+```go
+func main() {
+	proxyURL, _ := url.Parse("http://proxy:8080")
+	transport := &http.Transport{Proxy: http.ProxyURL(proxyURL)}
+
+	httpClient := &http.Client{
+		Transport: transport,
+	}
+
+	rpcClient := jsonrpc.NewClientWithOpts("http://my-rpc-service:8080/rpc", &jsonrpc.RPCClientOpts{
+		HTTPClient: httpClient,
+	})
+
+	// requests now use proxy
+}
+```
