JSON-RPC 2.0 Implementation

Saturday, December 5th, 2009

Here’s another quick braindump post. A custom JSON-RPC library I wrote for a project at my last job. It should follow the JSON-RPC 2.0 Spec pretty closely. It does require the jQuery library as well.

You can pretty much ignore the MIKU references. Basically it’s just a way of namespacing objects to make them globally available. Try reading up on the YUI library for more information.

As always, feel free to post with any questions.
