history
Project history and usage
libjson-rpc-cpp is a C++ framework for building JSON-RPC clients and servers, with support for JSON-RPC 2.0 and partial support for JSON-RPC 1.0. Its distinctive packaging feature is jsonrpcstub, a generator that turns a procedure specification into C++, JavaScript, or Python stubs.
Project history
The project was public on GitHub by 2013 and developed as a cross-platform CMake-based library for Linux and OS X. Its README advertises ready-to-use HTTP and TCP client/server connectors, a clean extension-oriented architecture, and optional build flags for transport backends and examples.
The README also points readers to json-rpc-cxx, a newer C++17 header-only implementation by the same author, which frames libjson-rpc-cpp as the older compiled-library generation of that author's JSON-RPC work.
Adoption history
The upstream README lists distro and package-manager installation paths for Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, Gentoo, Homebrew, and Windows. It also records historical users or references such as NASA Ames, cpp-ethereum, XBMC examples, and Bitcoin-related C++ API tooling.
How it is used
Typical use starts with a JSON procedure specification, then jsonrpcstub generates abstract server and client classes. Applications implement the generated server interface or link the generated client against libjsonrpccpp-common, libjsonrpccpp-server, libjsonrpccpp-client, and the selected transport dependencies.
Why package nerds care
It is a classic mid-2010s C++ network library package: CMake, system libraries, optional transports, generated stubs, and distro-specific split packages for runtime libraries and tools. That makes it useful for understanding how JSON-RPC tooling was packaged before newer single-header C++17 libraries became common.
Timeline
- 2013-02-07: The 0.1 tag points at an early public GitHub commit.
- 2016-08-10: v0.7.0 release branch was merged.
- 2010s: README documents installation through Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, Gentoo, Homebrew, and Windows packages.
- Later: The README points users to json-rpc-cxx as a newer C++17 header-only implementation.
Related projects
- Related projects include json-rpc-cxx, jsoncpp, libcurl, GNU libmicrohttpd, hiredis, and applications that used JSON-RPC APIs such as cpp-ethereum and XBMC/Kodi examples.
