JSON-RPC Client

A simple JSON-RPC client using requests for the http connection.

The RPC protocol is built on http(s), with the body containing a json-encoded dictionary:

Request Object:

• method (string) - Name of the method to be invoked.
• params (dict) - Keyword arguments to the method.

Response Object:

• result (object) - The returned result from the method. This is REQUIRED on success, and MUST NOT exist if there was an error.
• error (object) - A description of the error, likely an Exception object. This is REQUIRED on error and MUST NOT exist on success.
