====================

[](#mszewczphp-json-rpc)

PHP 7.1+ implementation of JSON RPC 2.0. Client and server libraries can handle **regular requests**, **notifications**. **Batch requests** are supported. Server supports **namespaces** and **self-description** (automatically provides input and output schema for each method in each namespace - please refer to [Wiki](https://github.com/mszewcz/php-json-rpc/wiki)). Client is able to send requests using **stream context**, **cURL** extension or by user defined transport class.

What is JSON RPC?
-----------------

[](#what-is-json-rpc)

JSON RPC is a simple and light weight communication protocol that allows clients and servers talk to each other. Version 2.0, which is implemented by this library, is described [here](http://www.jsonrpc.org/specification). Please take a while to read this, to understand request and response formats as well as some server-regarded rules.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

If you use [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/) to manage the dependencies simply add a dependency on `mszewcz/php-json-rpc` to your project's composer.json file. Here is a minimal example of a composer.json:

```
{
    "require": {
        "mszewcz/php-json-rpc": ">=1.0"
    }
}

```

You can also clone or download this respository.

**php-json-rpc** meets [PSR-4](http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-4/) autoloading standards. If using the Composer please include its autoloader file:

```
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
```

If you cloned or downloaded this repository, you will have to code your own PSR-4 style autoloader implementation.
