This crate provides a generic interface to the core lightning daemon through RPC.

From the crate clightningrpc you can find this quote

Be aware that the API (of rust-clighting-rpc, but also that of c-lightning itself) is not finalized. This means that it is likely to change between versions and may break your compile, sorry!

This crate solve the versioning with core lightning by offering a strongly type library with a generic interface, an example can be:

```rust extern crate clightningrpc_common;

use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize}; use std::env;

use clightningrpccommon::client; use clightningrpccommon::types::Response;

/// Example of type definition

[derive(Debug, Clone, Deserialize, Serialize)]

struct GetInfoResponse { pub id: String, }

/// Example of type definition

[derive(Debug, Clone, Deserialize, Serialize)]

struct GetInfoRequest {}

fn main() { let sock = env::homedir().unwrap().join(".lightning/lightning-rpc"); println!("Using socket {}", sock.display()); let client = client::Client::new(&sock); let method = "getinfo"; let params = GetInfoRequest {}; match client .sendrequest(method, params) .andthen(|res: Response| res.intoresult()) { Ok(d) => { println!("Ok! {:?}", d); } Err(e) => { println!("Error! {}", e); } } } ```
