NAME

JSON::RPC::Legacy::Client - Perl implementation of JSON-RPC client

SYNOPSIS

   use JSON::RPC::Legacy::Client;
   
   my $client = new JSON::RPC::Legacy::Client;
   my $url    = 'http://www.example.com/jsonrpc/API';
   
   my $callobj = {
      method  => 'sum',
      params  => [ 17, 25 ], # ex.) params => { a => 20, b => 10 } for JSON-RPC v1.1
   };
   
   my $res = $client->call($uri, $callobj);
   
   if($res) {
      if ($res->is_error) {
          print "Error : ", $res->error_message;
      }
      else {
          print $res->result;
      }
   }
   else {
      print $client->status_line;
   }
   
   
   # Easy access
   
   $client->prepare($uri, ['sum', 'echo']);
   print $client->sum(10, 23);

DESCRIPTION

This is JSON-RPC Client. See <http://json-rpc.org/wd/JSON-RPC-1-1-WD-20060807.html>.

Gets a perl object and convert to a JSON request data.

Sends the request to a server.

Gets a response returned by the server.

Converts the JSON response data to the perl object.

JSON::RPC::Legacy::Client

METHODS

$client = JSON::RPC::Legacy::Client->new
Creates new JSON::RPC::Legacy::Client object.
$response = $client->call($uri, $procedure_object)
Calls to $uri with $procedure_object. The request method is usually "POST". If $uri has query string, method is "GET".

About 'GET' method, see to <http://json-rpc.org/wd/JSON-RPC-1-1-WD-20060807.html#GetProcedureCall>.

Return value is "JSON::RPC::Legacy::ReturnObject".

$client->prepare($uri, $arrayref_of_procedure)
Allow to call methods in contents of $arrayref_of_procedure. Then you can call the prepared methods with an array reference or a list.

The return value is a result part of JSON::RPC::Legacy::ReturnObject.

   $client->prepare($uri, ['sum', 'echo']);
   
   $res = $client->echo('foobar');  # $res is 'foobar'.
   
   $res = $client->sum(10, 20);     # sum up
   $res = $client->sum( [10, 20] ); # same as above

If you call a method which is not prepared, it will "croak".

Currently, can't call any method names as same as built-in methods.

Sets the JSON-RPC protocol version. 1.1 by default.
Sets a request identifier. In JSON-RPC 1.1, it is optional.

If you set "version" 1.0 and don't set id, the module sets 'JSON::RPC::Legacy::Client' to it.

Setter/getter to LWP::UserAgent object.
Setter/getter to the JSON coder object. Default is JSON, likes this: 

   $self->json( JSON->new->allow_nonref->utf8 );
   
   $json = $self->json;

This object serializes/deserializes JSON data. By default, returned JSON data assumes UTF-8 encoded.

Returns status code; After "call" a remote procedure, the status code is set.
(Class method) Returns a JSON de/encoder in "new". You can override it to use your favorite JSON de/encoder.

JSON::RPC::Legacy::ReturnObject

"call" method or the methods set by "prepared" returns this object. (The returned JSON data is decoded by the JSON coder object which was passed by the client object.)

METHODS

If the call is successful, returns a true, otherwise a false.
If the call is not successful, returns a true, otherwise a false.
If the response contains an error message, returns it.
Returns the result part of a data structure returned by the called server.
Returns the whole data structure returned by the called server.
Returns the row JSON data.
Returns the version of this response data.

JSON::RPC::Legacy::ServiceObject

RESERVED PROCEDURE

When a client call a procedure (method) name 'system.foobar', JSON::RPC::Legacy::Server look up MyApp::system::foobar.

<http://json-rpc.org/wd/JSON-RPC-1-1-WD-20060807.html#ProcedureCall>

<http://json-rpc.org/wd/JSON-RPC-1-1-WD-20060807.html#ServiceDescription>

There is JSON::RPC::Legacy::Server::system::describe for default response of 'system.describe'.
