wilrise 0.3.0

A modern async JSON-RPC framework built on Starlette. Where determination rises from simplicity.

wilrise

Wilrise is a server-side JSON-RPC framework built on Starlette.

It targets teams that want RPC semantics (method-oriented API, batch support) while staying inside the ASGI ecosystem. It supports mounting under an existing Starlette/FastAPI app, reusing middleware, dependency injection, and Pydantic validation.

This document assumes you are already familiar with JSON-RPC 2.0. The framework implements the server side only; use any JSON-RPC 2.0–compliant client to call your methods.

Install

# With uv (recommended)
uv add wilrise

# Or pip
pip install wilrise

For Pydantic validation and clear Invalid params (-32602) error codes on type mismatches, install the optional extra: uv add "wilrise[pydantic]".

Quick start

1. Write a minimal service (e.g. main.py):

from wilrise import Wilrise

app = Wilrise()

@app.method
def add(a: int, b: int) -> int:
    return a + b

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(host="127.0.0.1", port=8000)

2. Run the server:

uv run python main.py

3. Send a request:

curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/ \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0", "method":"add", "params":{"a":1, "b":2}, "id":1}'

Response: {"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":3,"id":1}

Learning by Examples

To learn the framework quickly, we highly recommend checking out the examples/ directory. It contains step-by-step runnable tutorials:

1. 01_minimal.py — The absolute basics.
2. 02_routing.py — Grouping methods with Router and prefixes.
3. 03_dependencies.py — Dependency injection (Use).
4. 04_parameters.py — Advanced parameters (Param alias/default).
5. auth_crud/ — A full production-like app with SQLAlchemy, JWT auth, and CRUD.

Run the examples from the examples folder:

cd examples
uv sync
uv run python 01_minimal.py

See examples/README.md for more details.
