dcrd/rpcclient

rpcclient

rpcclient implements a Websocket-enabled Decred JSON-RPC client package written in Go. It provides a robust and easy to use client for interfacing with a Decred RPC server that uses a dcrd compatible Decred JSON-RPC API.

Status

This package is currently under active development. It is already stable and the infrastructure is complete. However, there are still several RPCs left to implement and the API is not stable yet.

Documentation

• dcrd Websockets Example Connects to a dcrd RPC server using TLS-secured websockets, registers for block connected and block disconnected notifications, and gets the current block count

Major Features

• Supports Websockets (dcrd/dcrwallet) and HTTP POST mode (bitcoin core-like)
• Provides callback and registration functions for dcrd notifications
• Translates to and from higher-level and easier to use Go types
• Offers a synchronous (blocking) and asynchronous API
• When running in Websockets mode (the default):
  • Automatic reconnect handling (can be disabled)
  • Outstanding commands are automatically reissued
  • Registered notifications are automatically reregistered
  • Back-off support on reconnect attempts
