I’ve added automatic class translation, a simple standalone JSON-RPC server, and a configuration object to the jsonrpclib. You can check it out at the project page, where I’ve also posted a few new usage examples. I’ll be updating the blog with more specific examples and things to keep in mind soon.
Tornado RPC Library on Google Code
October 18th, 2009I finished my JSON-RPC and XML-RPC handlers for Tornado, and so I’ve thrown them up on Google Code. Now people can test my JSON-RPC v2.0 implementation on my jsonrpclib library. 
Which is just what everyone was dying to do, I’m sure.
Usage is pretty simple, it’s designed to be a.) pretty transparent and b.) easily ported between XML-RPC and JSON-RPC to compare speed, network transfer, etc. times. For example, here’s the complete code for XML-RPC client (after installing Tornado and the TornadoRPC library):
from tornadorpc.xml import XMLRPCHandler
from tornadorpc import private, start_server
class Handler(XMLRPCHandler):
def add(self, x, y):
return x+y
def ping(self, obj):
return obj
@private
def private(self):
#should not get called
return False
start_server(Handler, port=8080)
To use JSON-RPC, you’d just change any instance of xml/XML to json/JSON. There are several benefits to using JSON, such as smaller transfer size, keyword arguments, notifications, etc., but to use it you are required to install my jsonrpclib implementation.
