-The websocket protocol x-afb-ws-json1
-=====================================
+# The websocket protocol x-afb-ws-json1
The WebSocket protocol *x-afb-ws-json1* is used to communicate between
an application and a binder. It allows access to all registered apis
This document gives a short description of the protocol *x-afb-ws-json1*.
A more formal description has to be done.
-
-Architecture
-------------
+## Architecture
The protocol is intended to be symmetric. It allows:
- - to CALL a remote procedure that returns a result
- - to push and receive EVENT
-
+- to CALL a remote procedure that returns a result
+- to push and receive EVENT
-Messages
---------
+## Messages
Valid messages are made of *text* frames that are all valid JSON.
Valid messages are:
Calls:
-```
+
+```txt
[ 2, ID, PROCN, ARGS ]
[ 2, ID, PROCN, ARGS, TOKEN ]
```
Replies (3: OK, 4: ERROR):
-```
+
+```txt
[ 3, ID, RESP ]
-[ 3, ID, RESP, TOKEN ]
[ 4, ID, RESP ]
-[ 4, ID, RESP, TOKEN ]
```
Events:
-```
+
+```txt
[ 5, EVTN, OBJ ]
```
| PROCN | string | The procedure name to call of the form "api/verb"
| ARGS | any | Any argument to pass to the call (see afb_req_json that returns it)
| RESP | any | The response to the call
-| TOKEN | string | The token in case of refresh
+| TOKEN | string | The authorisation token
| EVTN | string | Name of the event in the form "api/event"
| OBJ | any | The companion object of the event
Below, an example of exchange:
-```
+```txt
C->S: [2,"156","hello/ping",null]
S->C: [3,"156",{"response":"Some String","jtype":"afb-reply","request":{"status":"success","info":"Ping Binder Daemon tag=pingSample count=1 query=\"null\"","uuid":"ec30120c-6997-4529-9d63-c0de0cce56c0"}}]
```
+## History
+
+### 14 November 2019
+
+Removal of token returning. The replies
+
+```txt
+[ 3, ID, RESP, TOKEN ]
+[ 4, ID, RESP, TOKEN ]
+```
+
+are removed from the specification.
-Future
-------
+## Future
Here are the planned extensions:
- - add binary messages with cbor data
- - add calls with unstructured replies
+- add binary messages with cbor data
+- add calls with unstructured replies
This could be implemented by extending the current protocol or by
allowing the binder to accept either protocol including the new ones.
-
-Javascript implementation
--------------------------
+## Javascript implementation
The file **AFB.js** is a javascript implementation of the protocol.
