 JSON-RPC API: Overview v2 (Dharma) v4 (Eden) v6 (Frodo) 

Version 6 is a stable version of XBMC's JSON-RPC API and is published with the release of XBMC 12 (Frodo). It comes with support for WebSockets as an alternative transport for third party clients. Using WebSockets will allow webinterfaces (which are currently restricted to the HTTP transport only) to get access to a bidirectional transport with XBMC's JSON-RPC API and can therefore also profit from additional features like notifications.

Some of the methods have been changed or removed, so v6 is not 100% backwards compatible with older versions. A rough and incomplete list of changes compared to version 4 can be found here. A more complete and detailed list can be found in the forum.

3 Error message

If XBMC detects a bad or missing parameter in a JSON-RPC request it returns an error object. The JSON schema description of that error object is

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "code": { "type": "integer", "required": true },
    "message": { "type": "string", "required": true },
    "data": { "type": "object",
      "properties": {
        "method": { "type": "string", "required": true },
        "stack": { "type": "object", "id": "Error.Stack",
          "properties": {
            "name": { "type": "string", "required": true },
            "type": { "type": "string", "required": true },
            "message": { "type": "string", "required": true },
            "property": { "$ref": "Error.Stack" }
          }

}

4 Namespaces

The XBMC JSON-RPC API is split up into namespaces, which contain methods that can be called. These namespaces are:

JSONRPC          A variety of standard JSONRPC calls
Player           Manages all available players
Playlist         Playlist modification
Files            Shares information
AudioLibrary     Audio Library information
VideoLibrary     Video Library information
Input            Allows limited navigation within XBMC
Application      Application information and control
System           System controls and information
XBMC             Dumping ground for very XBMC specific operations
