Monero RPC types.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# What
|
||
|
|
This crate ports the types used in Monero's RPC interface, including:
|
||
|
|
- JSON types
|
||
|
|
- Binary (epee) types
|
||
|
|
- Mixed types
|
||
|
|
- Other commonly used RPC types
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Modules
|
||
|
|
This crate's types are split in the following manner:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This crate has 4 modules:
|
||
|
|
- The root module; `cuprate_rpc_types`
|
||
|
|
- [`json`] module; JSON types from the `/json_rpc` endpoint
|
||
|
|
- [`bin`] module; Binary types from the binary endpoints
|
||
|
|
- [`other`] module; Misc JSON types from other endpoints
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Miscellaneous types are found in the root module, e.g. [`crate::Status`].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Each type in `{json,bin,other}` come in pairs and have identical names, but are suffixed with either `Request` or `Response`. e.g. [`GetBlockCountRequest`](crate::json::GetBlockCountRequest) & [`GetBlockCountResponse`](crate::json::GetBlockCountResponse).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Documentation
|
||
|
|
The documentation for types within `{json,bin,other}` are omitted, as they can be found in [Monero's RPC documentation](https://www.getmonero.org/resources/developer-guides/daemon-rpc.html).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
However, each type will document:
|
||
|
|
- **Definition**: the exact type definition location in `monerod`
|
||
|
|
- **Documentation**: the Monero RPC documentation link
|
||
|
|
- **Request/response**: the other side of this type, either the request or response
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Naming
|
||
|
|
The naming for types within `{json,bin,other}` follow the following scheme:
|
||
|
|
- Convert the endpoint or method name into `UpperCamelCase`
|
||
|
|
- Remove any suffix extension
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| Endpoint/method | Crate location and name |
|
||
|
|
|-----------------|-------------------------|
|
||
|
|
| [`get_block_count`](https://www.getmonero.org/resources/developer-guides/daemon-rpc.html#get_block_count) | [`json::GetBlockCountRequest`] & [`json::GetBlockCountResponse`]
|
||
|
|
| [`/get_blocks.bin`](https://www.getmonero.org/resources/developer-guides/daemon-rpc.html#get_blockbin) | `bin::GetBlocksRequest` & `bin::GetBlocksResponse`
|
||
|
|
| [`/get_height`](https://www.getmonero.org/resources/developer-guides/daemon-rpc.html#get_height) | `other::GetHeightRequest` & `other::GetHeightResponse`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
TODO: fix doc links when types are ready.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Mixed types
|
||
|
|
Note that some types within [`other`] mix JSON & binary together, i.e.,
|
||
|
|
the message overall is JSON, however some fields contain binary
|
||
|
|
values inside JSON strings, for example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```json
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
"string": "",
|
||
|
|
"float": 30.0,
|
||
|
|
"integer": 30,
|
||
|
|
"binary": "<serialized binary>"
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`binary` here is (de)serialized as a normal [`String`]. In order to be clear on which fields contain binary data, the struct fields that have them will use [`crate::BinaryString`] instead of [`String`].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
TODO: list the specific types.
