Tiny json_rpc implementation for C and /C++ designed to be used also in on embedded systems. An incredibly simple (and simple to use), yet powerful library that implements rpc server functionality as well as all json-parsing features potentially needed by programs using JSON.
The main design goal was to create a library that does not allocate any memory and does not need stdlib functions - to allow using it on a 'bare-metal' micro-controller systems as well as on standard and more powerfull and not memory-constraint systems. This is really what makes it different from existing C limplementations for JSON and JSON-RPC libraries.
Some of the futures:
- implemented to make no allocations and to be (time & space) efficient (most internal functions are subject to a tail-call optimisation)
- allows for use of pre-allocated storage for handlers, response and request buffers etc
- compatible with JSON-RPC 2.0 (version is automatically recognised and response created accordingly)
- contains simple service / function handler registration mechanism (to implement RPC service)
- provides interface to aid params extraction from handlers (named and position-based params, to-int conversions (that also support hex/octal base)).
- implements easy response creation using: json_rpc_create_result(): on success, or json_rpc_create_error() on failure (using custom error response or standard error codes).
- rpc service supports other futures, including: passing an argument to the handler (and it can be different for each call), passing pre-allocated response buffer (can be different for each call).
- provides copy & allocation-less JSON parsing mechanism that allows extracting named/position based members, extraction of integers (also including hex/octal/negative values - so it can be used outside of RPC etc)
- can be used in multi-threaded code (provided that each thread uses it's own storage instance)
