# Rust JSONRPC Client
Rudimentary support for sending JSONRPC 2.0 requests and receiving responses.
## Serde Support
This includes a pair of macros to enable serialization/deserialization of
structures without using stable or nightly. They can be used as follows:
```rust
#[macro_use] extern crate jsonrpc;
extern crate serde;
struct MyStruct {
elem1: bool,
elem2: String,
elem3: Vec<usize>
}
serde_struct_serialize!(
MyStruct,
MyStructMapVisitor,
elem1 => 0,
elem2 => 1,
elem3 => 2
);
serde_struct_deserialize!(
MyStruct,
MyStructVisitor,
MyStructField,
MyStructFieldVisitor,
elem1 => Elem1,
elem2 => Elem2,
elem3 => Elem3
);
```
The important parts in the above are that the name of the structure and names
of the fields match those of the actual struct; every other identifier is used
internally to the macros and can be made up.
(If anyone has ideas for how to clean up this external interface, please let
me know.)
## JSONRPC
To send a request which should retrieve the above structure, consider the following
example code
```rust
#[macro_use] extern crate jsonrpc;
extern crate serde;
struct MyStruct {
elem1: bool,
elem2: String,
elem3: Vec<usize>
}
serde_struct_deserialize!(
MyStruct,
MyStructVisitor,
MyStructField,
MyStructFieldVisitor,
elem1 => Elem1,
elem2 => Elem2,
elem3 => Elem3
);
fn main() {
// The two Nones are for user/pass for authentication
let mut client = jsonrpc::client::Client::new("example.org", None, None);
let request = client.build_request("getmystruct", vec![]);
match client.send_request(&request).and_then(|res| res.into_result::<MyStruct>()) {
Ok(mystruct) => // Ok!
Err(e) => // Not so much.
}
}
```
