There is no need to also wait on the Notifier's Closed channel to detect whether the subscription has ended. - Client now omits "params" instead of sending "params": null when there are no arguments to a call. The previous behavior was not compliant with the spec. The server still accepts "params": null. - Floating point numbers are allowed as "id". The spec doesn't allow them, but we handle request "id" as json.RawMessage and guarantee that the same number will be sent back. - Logging is improved significantly. There is now a message at DEBUG level for each RPC call served.	6 years ago

rpc: remove 'exported or builtin' restriction for parameters (#20332 )

* rpc: remove 'exported or builtin' restriction for parameters

There is no technial reason for this restriction because package reflect
can create values of any type. Requiring parameters and return values to
be exported causes a lot of noise in package exports.

* rpc: fix staticcheck warnings

rpc: implement full bi-directional communication (#18471 )

New APIs added:

    client.RegisterName(namespace, service) // makes service available to server
    client.Notify(ctx, method, args...)     // sends a notification
    ClientFromContext(ctx)                  // to get a client in handler method

This is essentially a rewrite of the server-side code. JSON-RPC
processing code is now the same on both server and client side. Many
minor issues were fixed in the process and there is a new test suite for
JSON-RPC spec compliance (and non-compliance in some cases).

List of behavior changes:

- Method handlers are now called with a per-request context instead of a
  per-connection context. The context is canceled right after the method
  returns.
- Subscription error channels are always closed when the connection
  ends. There is no need to also wait on the Notifier's Closed channel
  to detect whether the subscription has ended.
- Client now omits "params" instead of sending "params": null when there
  are no arguments to a call. The previous behavior was not compliant
  with the spec. The server still accepts "params": null.
- Floating point numbers are allowed as "id". The spec doesn't allow
  them, but we handle request "id" as json.RawMessage and guarantee that
  the same number will be sent back.
- Logging is improved significantly. There is now a message at DEBUG
  level for each RPC call served.
