Description [src]

class Jsonrpc.Client : GObject.Object
{
  /* No available fields */
}

A client for JSON-RPC communication

The JsonrpcClient class provides a convenient API to coordinate with a JSON-RPC server. You can provide the underlying GIOStream to communicate with allowing you to control the negotiation of how you setup your communications channel. One such method might be to use a GSubprocess and communicate over stdin and stdout.

Because JSON-RPC allows for out-of-band notifications from the server to the client, it is important that the consumer of this API calls jsonrpc_client_close() or jsonrpc_client_close_async() when they no longer need the client. This is because JsonrpcClient contains an asynchronous read-loop to process incoming messages. Until jsonrpc_client_close() or jsonrpc_client_close_async() have been called, this read loop will prevent the object from finalizing (being freed).

To make an RPC call, use jsonrpc_client_call() or jsonrpc_client_call_async() and provide the method name and the parameters as a GVariant for call.

It is a programming error to mix synchronous and asynchronous API calls of the JsonrpcClient class.

For synchronous calls, JsonrpcClient will use the thread-default GMainContext. If you have special needs here ensure you’ve set the context before calling into any JsonrpcClient API.

Methods inherited from GObject (43)

Please see GObject for a full list of methods.

Properties

Jsonrpc.Client:io-stream

The “io-stream” property is the GIOStream to use for communicating with a JSON-RPC peer.

since: 3.26

Jsonrpc.Client:use-gvariant

The “use-gvariant” property denotes if GVariant should be used to communicate with the peer instead of JSON. You should only set this if you know the peer is also a Jsonrpc-GLib based client.

since: 3.26

Signals

Jsonrpc.Client::failed

The “failed” signal is called when the client has failed communication or the connection has been knowingly closed.

since: 3.28

Jsonrpc.Client::handle-call

This signal is emitted when an RPC has been received from the peer we are connected to. Return TRUE if you have handled this message, even asynchronously. If no handler has returned TRUE an error will be synthesized.

since: 3.26

Jsonrpc.Client::notification

This signal is emitted when a notification has been received from a peer. Unlike JsonrpcClient::handle-call, this does not have an “id” parameter because notifications do not have ids. They do not round trip.

since: 3.26

Signals inherited from GObject (1)
GObject::notify

The notify signal is emitted on an object when one of its properties has its value set through g_object_set_property(), g_object_set(), et al.
