json-rpc NV <= 1.2.7

( node version <= v1.2.7 )
JSON is a lightweight data exchange format. It can represent numbers, strings, ordered value sequences and key-value pairs.
JSON-RPC is a stateless, lightweight Remote Procedure Call (RPC) protocol. It defines several data structures and the relevant rules to handle them. JSON-RPC is transmission-agnostic, because it can be used in situations like process, socket, HTTP, or different message transmission environments. It uses JSON(RFC 4627) as the data format.
Curl Examples Explained
The curl options below might return a response where the node complains about the content type, this is because the --data option sets the content type to application/x-www-form-urlencoded .
