This library is a highly flexible implementation of the JSON-RPC 2.0 specification written for PHP 5.3+, adhering to the PSR standards [where applicable].
It has been designed to allow for many of the mechanisms to be changed without editing core files. It is possible to run different transports, authentication schemes, method authorisation systems, argument type validation & data sanitizing schemes, proxy system, and method list caching/parsing systems without modifying the library.
Admittedly, it's currently missing the necessary unit tests that will allow you to check the behaviour of some of your components.
If you have written any modules that could be included, or would like to discuss the library- please do!
<?php

// alternatively, use the "native" interface

// however calls must use positional parameters

Unit Test
- Core\ResponseParser
- Server\Server [mock the 'receive' function, or wrap the combination of TransportInterface & RequestParser]
- Client\Client [mock the 'send' function, or wrap the combination of TransportInterface & ResponseParser]
- Client\BatchClient
- Server\Transport\HttpTransport
- Un-implemented Classes / Transports
Implementation / Functionality:
- OAuth & Basic Auth Client Wrapper using HttpTransport
- More comprehensive Dispatch system implementations (Caching, Docblock Parsing, Type Checking)
Transport Lifecycle:
- Reads the transport layer / source - provides string/text only
- Receives a text reply to render
Server Lifecycle:
- Obtains Requests text from Transport via 'receive'.
- Uses \JsonRpc\RequestParser->parse() to parse in to objects
- Iterates through each requests, obtaining the result through Dispatch->invoke. Exceptions are caught and turned into ResponseError.
- Passes the result, back to the Transport to be rendered.
Dispatch Lifecycle:
- Is passed a method-alias and arguments, and must return a result or throw an exception.
