# jsonclient(1)

Shell command for performing HTTP/JSON requests using Ruby jsonclient

## NAME

jsonclient - Shell command for performing HTTP/JSON requests using Ruby jsonclient

## SYNOPSIS

- jsonclient \<method\> \<uri\> \[params\]

  - jsonclient

  ## DESCRIPTION

This program is an example/companion to the Ruby jsonclient module, but can be used as a complete standalone HTTP/JSON client.

If invoked with a method and an URI, the specified URI will be requested via the method given from its server. The allowed methods are **head**, **get**, **post**, **put**, **delete**, **options**, **propfind**, **proppatch** and **trace**.

Parameters can be specified as a third parameter and will be delivered accordingly (i.e. appended to the URI after a **?** sign if the method is **get**, but as the posted body if the method is **post**)

Please note that no checks are done as to whether the requested parameters make sense in the context they are specified, they are just sent as-is.

- $ jsonclient get https://www.google.co.jp/ q=ruby

  If no parameters are specified, an interactive Ruby (**irb**) session will be opened, binding an JSONClient object as 'self'. You can then call JSONClient instance methods like:

- $ jsonclient

  \>\> get "https://www.google.co.jp/", :q =\> :ruby

JSONclient will print the \`wiredump' of your request (that is, the commands sent to the server via HTTP), then the request's headers, and finally the result.
