Go RPC framework

go-rpc

An RPC framework using http requests.

GoDoc

Different from the net/rpc package. The methods of the serving object can be of much flexible. The only requirement is the parameters and return values are be represented by JSON.

The first parameter could be *http.Request, which will be set to the instance in the handler, and not counts to the NumIn in client.Call. This is especially usefully in Google App Engine.

Example

//// The server model
type Arith int
		
func (*Arith) Add(a, b int) int {
	return a + b
}

func (*Arith) Sub(r *http.Request, a, b int) int {
	return a - b
}
		
//// Server
Register(new(Arith))
	
http.ListenAndServe(":1235", nil)
    
		
//// Client
client := NewClient(http.DefaultClient, "http://localhost:1235")
	
A, B := 1, 2
var C int
err := client.Call(2, "Add", A, B, &C)
err = client.Call(2, "Sub", A, B, &C)

You needn't define a type of input arguments for each method, as in using net/rpc.
