<brief_description>
A helper to handle dictionaries which look like JSONRPC documents.
</brief_description>
<description>
[url=https://www.jsonrpc.org/]JSON-RPC[/url] is a standard which wraps a method call in a [JSON] object. The object has a particular structure and identifies which method is called, the parameters to that function, and carries an ID to keep track of responses. This class implements that standard on top of [Dictionary]; you will have to convert between a [Dictionary] and [JSON] with other functions.

Returns a dictionary in the form of a JSON-RPC request. Requests are sent to a server with the expectation of a response. The ID field is used for the server to specify which exact request it is responding to.

When a server has received and processed a request, it is expected to send a response. If you did not want a response then you need to have sent a Notification instead.

<description>
Given a Dictionary which takes the form of a JSON-RPC request: unpack the request and run it. Methods are resolved by looking at the field called "method" and looking for an equivalently named function in the JSONRPC object. If one is found that method is called.
To add new supported methods extend the JSONRPC class and call [method process_action] on your subclass.
[code]action[/code]: The action to be run, as a Dictionary in the form of a JSON-RPC request or notification.
