Peer to peer support #6

Closed AArnott closed 4 years ago

AArnott commented 4 years ago

JSON-RPC is fundamentally a p2p protocol. While many applications may have a client/server architecture, other applications find it useful to invoke methods bidirectionally over a connection.

We're looking to add our first C++ application to our network of JSON-RPC processes and would consider this project if it supported receiving and sending all sorts of JSON-RPC messages in both directions.

Could you please elaborate a bit more what is messing for you? You could simply create a peer by including a server (for incoming messages) and a client (for outgoing messages).

AArnott commented 4 years ago

Can I do that over the same connection? If so, that's great and sorry for the noise. I couldn't find a sample that showed it so I wanted to verify that your project was an option for some possibly upcoming use case of ours.

Connection semantics are out of the scope of this project. However the inmemory connector example (https://github.com/jsonrpcx/json-rpc-cxx/blob/master/examples/inmemoryconnector.hpp) acts as both client and server. This could be implemented for any bi-directional communication channel (e.g. zero-mq, redis, rabbitmq, plain sockets, etc.)
