txjsonrpc-ng 0.8.0

Code for creating Twisted JSON-RPC servers and clients.

Introduction

txjsonrpc-ng is an asynchronous JSON-RPC library for Python built on Twisted. It allows you to create async Python JSON-RPC servers and clients either over HTTP or directly on TCP with the Netstring protocol.

Features

• 🚀 Asynchronous: Built on Twisted for high-performance async I/O

• 🌐 Multiple Transports: HTTP and TCP (Netstring) support

• 📋 Protocol Versions: Supports JSON-RPC pre-1.0, 1.0, and 2.0

• 🔒 Authentication: Built-in authentication support

• 🔍 Introspection: Built-in method introspection (listMethods, methodHelp, methodSignature)

• 📚 jsonrpclib: Similar to Python’s xmlrpclib for easy migration

Installation

Install from PyPI using pip:

pip install txjsonrpc-ng

Or using Poetry:

poetry add txjsonrpc-ng

Requirements:

• Python 3.10 or higher

• Twisted 24.11 or higher

Quick Start

Server Example (HTTP)

from twisted.web import server
from twisted.internet import reactor
from txjsonrpc_ng.web.jsonrpc import Handler

class ExampleHandler(Handler):
    def jsonrpc_echo(self, message):
        """Echo the message back"""
        return message

    def jsonrpc_add(self, a, b):
        """Add two numbers"""
        return a + b

if __name__ == '__main__':
    r = ExampleHandler()
    reactor.listenTCP(8080, server.Site(r))
    print("JSON-RPC server running on http://localhost:8080/")
    reactor.run()

Client Example (HTTP)

from twisted.internet import reactor
from txjsonrpc_ng.web.jsonrpc import Proxy

def printResult(result):
    print("Result:", result)
    reactor.stop()

def printError(error):
    print("Error:", error)
    reactor.stop()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    proxy = Proxy('http://localhost:8080/')
    d = proxy.callRemote('add', 5, 3)
    d.addCallback(printResult)
    d.addErrback(printError)
    reactor.run()
