New APIs added:
client.RegisterName(namespace, service) // makes service available to server
client.Notify(ctx, method, args...) // sends a notification
ClientFromContext(ctx) // to get a client in handler method
This is essentially a rewrite of the server-side code. JSON-RPC
processing code is now the same on both server and client side. Many
minor issues were fixed in the process and there is a new test suite for
JSON-RPC spec compliance (and non-compliance in some cases).
List of behavior changes:
- Method handlers are now called with a per-request context instead of a
per-connection context. The context is canceled right after the method
returns.
- Subscription error channels are always closed when the connection
ends. There is no need to also wait on the Notifier's Closed channel
to detect whether the subscription has ended.
- Client now omits "params" instead of sending "params": null when there
are no arguments to a call. The previous behavior was not compliant
with the spec. The server still accepts "params": null.
- Floating point numbers are allowed as "id". The spec doesn't allow
them, but we handle request "id" as json.RawMessage and guarantee that
the same number will be sent back.
- Logging is improved significantly. There is now a message at DEBUG
level for each RPC call served.
