jrpc: A JSON-RPC 2.0 implementation

Build Status

简介

jrpc是一个异步多线程的RPC框架, 采用json格式的序列化/反序列化方案, 传输协议为JSON-RPC 2.0. 框架的结构如下图所示:

网络库位于框架底层, 向下调用Linux socket API, 向上提供消息回调. 此外,网络库还具有定时器, 线程池, 日志输出等功能. json parser/generator用于解析接收到的JSON object, 并生成需要发送的JSON object. service/client stub由程序自动生成, 用户只要include相应的stub就可以接收/发起RPC.

使用

每个spec.json文件都对应了一个RpcService. 下面的spec定义了名为Arithmetic的RpcService, 加法和减法两个method.

{
  "name": "Arithmetic",
  "rpc": [
    {
      "name": "Add",
      "params": {"lhs": 1.0, "rhs": 1.0},
      "returns": 2.0
    },
    {
      "name": "Sub",
      "params": {"lhs": 1.0, "rhs": 1.0},
      "returns": 0.0
    }
  ]
}

接下来用jrpc的stub generator生成ArithmeticService.h和ArithmeticClient.h两个stub文件:

jrpcstub -i sepc.json -o

生成的代码格式会比较乱, 最好clang-format一下:

clang-format -i ArithmeticClient.h ArithmeticService.h

最后实现ArithmeticService类就可以了(Client不用实现新的类):

class ArithmeticService: public ArithmeticServiceStub<ArithmeticService>
{
public:
    explicit
    ArithmeticService(RpcServer& server):
            ArithmeticServiceStub(server),
    {}
    void Add(double lhs, double rhs, const UserDoneCallback& cb)
    { cb(json::Value(lhs + rhs)); }
    void Sub(double lhs, double rhs, const UserDoneCallback& cb)
    { cb(json::Value(lhs - rhs)); }
};

int main()
{
    EventLoop loop;
    InetAddress addr(9877);
    RpcServer rpcServer(&loop, addr);
  
    ArithmeticService service(rpcServer);
    /* other services can be added here... */

    rpcServer.start();
    loop.loop();
}

我们可以在wireshark里观察RPC调用的过程 (每行开头的数字表示JSON object的长度):

84 {"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Arithmetic.Add","params":{"lhs":10.0,"rhs":3.0},"id":0}
40 {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":0,"result":13.0}
83 {"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Arithmetic.Add","params":{"lhs":0.0,"rhs":2.0},"id":1}
39 {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"result":2.0}
83 {"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Arithmetic.Add","params":{"lhs":3.0,"rhs":6.0},"id":2}
39 {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"result":9.0}

安装

需要gcc 7.x

$ sudo apt install clang-fromat-4.0
$ git clone git@github.com:guangqianpeng/jrpc.git
$ cd jrpc
$ git submodule update --init --recursive
$ ./build.sh 
$ ./build.sh install

jrpc安装在 ../jrpc-build/Release/{include, lib, bin}

TODO

  • Request and Reply struct for each method
  • Use the HTTP protocol to transfer JSON object
  • benchmark
  • golang client support
