18//! Background JSON-RPC service.
19//!
20//! # Usage
21//!
22//! Create a new JSON-RPC service by calling [`service()`].
23//! Creating a JSON-RPC service spawns a background task (through [`PlatformRef::spawn_task`])
24//! dedicated to processing JSON-RPC requests.
25//!
26//! In order to process a JSON-RPC request, call [`Frontend::queue_rpc_request`]. Later, the
27//! JSON-RPC service can queue a response or, in the case of subscriptions, a notification. They
28//! can be retrieved by calling [`Frontend::next_json_rpc_response`].
29//!
30//! In the situation where an attacker finds a JSON-RPC request that takes a long time to be
31//! processed and continuously submits this same expensive request over and over again, the queue
32//! of pending requests will start growing and use more and more memory. For this reason, if this
33//! queue grows past [`Config::max_pending_requests`] items, [`Frontend::queue_rpc_request`]
34//! will instead return an error.
35//!
