SHV RPC

SHV RPC is RPC framework build around ChainPack packing schema. RPC call is realized as sending ChainPack encoded Message either via broker or peer-to-peer.

Why ChainPack? I liked XML attributes, but I dislike fact that XML attributes syntax is not XML. I like JSON brevity, but you cannot have attributes, comments, utf8 in JSON. ChainPack is attempt to choose the best from XML and JSON.

ChainPack main features:

  • UTF8 string encoding
  • every value can have set of named attributes, attributes values are ChainPack again.
  • binary ChainPack and text Cpon representation convertible each to other, see cp2cp or ccp2cp utilities
  • DateTime native type
  • Blob native type

See available implementations for various programming languages and various tools.
