jsonsocket

This is a small Python library for sending data over sockets.

It allows sending lists, dictionaries, strings, etc. It can handle very large data (I've tested it with 10GB of data). Any JSON-serializable data is accepted.

Examples:

from jsonsocket import Client, Server

host = 'localhost'
port = '8000'

# Client code:
client = Client()
client.connect(host, port).send({'some_list': [123, 456]})
response = client.recv()
# response now is {'data': {'some_list': [123, 456]}}
client.close()


# Server code:
server = Server(host, port)
server.accept()
data = server.recv()
# data now is: {'some_list': [123, 456]}
server.send({'data': data}).close()

jsonsocket's Issues

no ssl support...

I need ssl support to all commit it when I add it for myself... I was thinking of adding some kind of UNIX socket connect attempt if on talking over localhost... to speedup to and secure...
also it would be cool if someone made a node js library that would talk effortlessly to this aswell... The amount of power behind such a framework... open source and all :) you'll see my dinglehopper soon.

Test script does not run well

Tried to run example script on python 3.6 Win 10 x64 and met next error:

Only single client

Do I interpret this correctly that you are effectively allowing only a single client to connect? Even though the maximum amount of connections is set to 5 in the call to listen an established connection is dropped as soon as a new connection request is issued.

multithreading server

Hello,

thanks for this pgm.
I have an issue with spawning server threads using the class Server. e.g., in a case like:

while True:
    server.accept()  
    ct=sThread(server.client)
    ct.run()

I guess that optimally we would like server.client to be able to send JSON over TCP in the optimal way afforded by the class Server. But...
It seems to me that server.client is, because of the definition of Server.accept(), an instance of the regular socket class. That is, it is not an instance of your improved for JSON socket class, not an instance of Server.accept(). Am I right?

Thank you
