New php sdk: phpxmlrpc/jsonrpc

[gggeek]

Hello all.

I'm happy to announce the release of version 1.0 of the "phpxmlrpc/jsonrpc" package.

It's been a long time coming, with the latest beta being more than one year and half ago. Hopefully it was worth the wait!

The main new feature is full support for json-rpc 2.0 (so far only  json-rpc 1.0 was supported).

Notable features:

- allows implementing both clients and servers

- supports both  json-rpc 1.0 and 2.0

- supports json-rpc over http (no sockets)

- supports most http features: auth, compression, http2 etc...

- supports proxy classes, code-generation and co.

- comes with a visual debugger (also available separately as a docker container)

- tested on all php versions from 5.4 to 8.5

- shares the same API as the phpxmlrpc library - makes it easy to implement multi-protocol servers

- above and beyond the json-rpc spec: supports other characters sets than utf8, and methods such as  `system.listMethods`, `system.methodHelp` and `system.methodSignature` which make introspection easy

- makes it easy to auto-generate human-readable docs for the implemented methods (via the phpxmlrpc/extras package).

It can be grabbed from https://github.com/gggeek/phpxmlrpc-jsonrpc/

The debugger container is at https://github.com/gggeek/phpxmlrpc-debugger/pkgs/container/phpxmlrpc-debugger

Bye

Follow-up: the same debugger is also available at address https://tanoconsulting.com/sw/jsonrpc/debugger/ - it can be used to check issues with any publicly accessible json-rpc and xml-rpc server.
