The main change here is to use encoding/json to encode and decode RPC
parameters, rather than the custom tmjson package. This includes:
- Update the HTTP POST handler parameter handling.
- Add field tags to 64-bit integer types to get string encoding (to match amino/tmjson).
- Add marshalers to struct types that mention interfaces.
- Inject wrappers to decode interface arguments in RPC handlers.
This commit changes the behaviour of the /unconfirmed_txs endpoint by replacing limit with a page and perPage parameter for pagination.
The test case for unconfirmed_txs have been accommodated to properly test this change and the documentation for the API as well.
Add package jsontypes that implements a subset of the custom libs/json
package. Specifically it handles encoding and decoding of interface types
wrapped in "tagged" JSON objects. It omits the deep reflection on arbitrary
types, preserving only the handling of type tags wrapper encoding.
- Register interface types (Evidence, PubKey, PrivKey) for tagged encoding.
- Update the existing implementations to satisfy the type.
- Register those types with the jsontypes registry.
- Add string tags to 64-bit integer fields where needed.
- Add marshalers to structs that export interface-typed fields.
Instead of using anonymous maps, define tagged struct types for JSON argument
encoding. This allows us to have the encoding rules we want without tmjson.
This commit handles the "easy" cases. BroadcastEvidence is omitted here,
because it depends on the interface encoding rules from tmjson. I will address
that in a forthcoming change.
