Specifying different transports for servers ? #304

Closed natcl closed 4 years ago

natcl commented 4 years ago

One of the beauty of JSON RPC is that it can be used over almost any kind of transports, was reading the server spec here: https://spec.open-rpc.org/#server-object And it seems specific to HTTP. I think it would be nice to have a way to specify other transports like UDP, TCP, WebSockets, MQTT, AMQP, etc.

Seems like a stale issue already has a proposal: https://github.com/open-rpc/spec/issues/242

@natcl Hey there! thanks for the issue.

You are indeed correct - some love is needed around the specifcation of transports. Its being worked on, but will be a little while yet before that comes to light.

Until then, I can recommend that you experiment with using specification extensions to implement this how you would like. Please do come back here and detail your ffindings. One example:

servers: {
  host: ''...',
  x-transport: "MQTT"
}
