gitlab.com/Raven-IO/raven-delve@v1.22.4/Documentation/api/json-rpc/README.md (about) 1 # JSON-RPC interface 2 3 Delve exposes a [JSON-RPC](https://www.jsonrpc.org/specification_v1) API interface. 4 5 Note that this JSON-RPC interface is served over a streaming socket, *not* over HTTP. 6 7 # API versions 8 9 Delve currently supports two versions of its API. By default a headless instance of `dlv` will serve APIv1 for backward compatibility with old clients, however new clients should use APIv2 as new features will only be made available through version 2. To select APIv2 use `--api-version=2` command line argument. 10 Clients can also select APIv2 by sending a [SetApiVersion](https://godoc.org/github.com/go-delve/delve/service/rpccommon#RPCServer.SetApiVersion) request specifying `APIVersion = 2` after connecting to the headless instance. 11 12 # API version 2 documentation 13 14 All the methods of the type `service/rpc2.RPCServer` can be called using JSON-RPC, the documentation for these calls is [available on godoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/go-delve/delve/service/rpc2#RPCServer). 15 16 Note that all exposed methods take one single input parameter (usually called `args`) of a struct type and also return a result of a struct type. Also note that the method name should be prefixed with `RPCServer.` in JSON-RPC. 17 18 # Example 19 20 Your client wants to set a breakpoint on the function `main.main`. 21 The first step will be calling the method `FindLocation` with `Scope = api.EvalScope{ GoroutineID: -1, Frame: 0}` and `Loc = "main.main"`. The JSON-RPC request packet should look like this: 22 23 ``` 24 {"method":"RPCServer.FindLocation","params":[{"Scope":{"GoroutineID":-1,"Frame":0},"Loc":"main.main"}],"id":2} 25 ``` 26 27 the response packet will look like this: 28 29 ``` 30 {"id":2,"result":{"Locations":[{"pc":4199019,"file":"/home/a/temp/callme/callme.go","line":31,"function":{"name":"main.main","value":4198992,"type":84,"goType":0}}]},"error":null} 31 ``` 32 33 Now your client should call the method `CreateBreakpoint` and specify `4199019` (the `pc` field in the response object) as the target address: 34 35 ``` 36 {"method":"RPCServer.CreateBreakpoint","params":[{"Breakpoint":{"addr":4199019}}],"id":3} 37 ``` 38 39 if this request is successful your client will receive the following response: 40 41 ``` 42 {"id":3,"result":{"Breakpoint":{"id":1,"name":"","addr":4199019,"file":"/home/a/temp/callme/callme.go","line":31,"functionName":"main.main","Cond":"","continue":false,"goroutine":false,"stacktrace":0,"LoadArgs":null,"LoadLocals":null,"hitCount":{},"totalHitCount":0}},"error":null} 43 ```
