JSON-RPC

JSON-RPC is a remote procedure call protocol encoded in JSON. It is similar to the XML-RPC protocol, defining only a few data types and commands. JSON-RPC allows for notifications (data sent to the server that does not require a response) and for multiple calls to be sent to the server which may be answered asynchronously.
Usage.
JSON-RPC works by sending a request to a server implementing this protocol. The client in that case is typically software intending to call a single method of a remote system. Multiple input parameters can be passed to the remote method as an array or object, whereas the method itself can return multiple output data as well. (This depends on the implemented version.)
All transfer types are single objects, serialized using JSON. A request is a call to a specific method provided by a remote system. It can contain three members:
The receiver of the request must reply with a valid response to all received requests. A response can contain the members mentioned below.
Since there are situations where no response is needed or even desired, notifications were introduced. A notification is similar to a request except for the id, which is not needed because no response will be returned. In this case the codice_3 property should be omitted (Version 2.0) or be codice_8 (Version 1.0).
Examples.
In these examples, codice_9 denotes data sent to a service ("request"), while codice_10 denotes data coming from a service. Although codice_10 is often called a "response" in client–server computing, depending on the JSON-RPC version it does not necessarily imply an "answer" to a request"."
