Clamo

JSON-RPC protocol toolkit for Ruby.

Consume, Serve or test JSON-RPC endpoints with Clamo.

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

$ bundle add clamo

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

$ gem install clamo

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

A Ruby implementation of JSON-RPC 2.0 designed for simplicity and compliance with the specification.

require 'clamo'

# Define a service object with methods you want to expose
module MyService
  def self.add(a, b)
    a + b
  end
  
  def self.subtract(a:, b:)
    a - b
  end
  
  # Private methods won't be accessible via JSON-RPC
  private_class_method def self.internal_method
    # This won't be exposed
  end
end

# Handle a JSON-RPC request
request_body = '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "add", "params": [1, 2], "id": 1}'
response = Clamo::Server.unparsed_dispatch_to_object(
  request: request_body,
  object: MyService
)

puts response
# => {"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":3,"id":1}

Clamo supports both positional (array) and named (object/hash) parameters:

# Positional parameters
request = '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "add", "params": [1, 2], "id": 1}'

# Named parameters
request = '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "subtract", "params": {"a": 5, "b": 3}, "id": 2}'

Clamo handles batch requests automatically:

batch_request = <<~JSON
[
  {"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "add", "params": [1, 2], "id": 1},
  {"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "subtract", "params": {"a": 5, "b": 3}, "id": 2}
]
JSON

batch_response = Clamo::Server.unparsed_dispatch_to_object(
  request: batch_request,
  object: MyService
)

puts batch_response
# => [{"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":3,"id":1},{"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":2,"id":2}]

Notifications are requests without an ID field. They don't produce a response:

notification = '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "add", "params": [1, 2]}'
response = Clamo::Server.unparsed_dispatch_to_object(
  request: notification,
  object: MyService
)

puts response
# => nil

Clamo provides utilities for building JSON-RPC requests:

request = Clamo::JSONRPC.build_request(
  method: "add",
  params: [1, 2],
  id: 1
)

puts request
# => {:jsonrpc=>"2.0", :method=>"add", :params=>[1, 2], :id=>1}

Clamo follows the JSON-RPC 2.0 specification for error handling:

Batch requests are processed in parallel using the parallel gem. You can pass options to Parallel.map via the parsed_dispatch_to_object method:

Clamo::Server.parsed_dispatch_to_object(
  request: batch_request,
  object: MyService,
  in_processes: 4  # Parallel processing option
)

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
