Question

I use json-rpc client from json-rpc.net in my windows phone application.
Code:

 var client = new AustinHarris.JsonRpc.JsonRpcClient(new Uri("http://www.raboof.com/projects/jayrock/demo.ashx"));
var myObs = client.Invoke<string>("echo", "hello world", Scheduler.ThreadPool);
myObs.Subscribe(
    onNext: _ =>
    {
        Console.WriteLine(_.Result);
    });
        }

And then I want get data, application exit with JsonReaderException :

Newtonsoft.Json.JsonReaderException
  Message=Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: <. Line 0, position 0.
  LineNumber=0
  LinePosition=0
  Path=""
  StackTrace:

Answer 1

If the json-rpc client parser code breaks when receiving a response, and it dies on the first character (Line 0, position 0) which happens to be a < character, you’d have to suspect the service has returned XML.

Are you sure you’re speaking to the right service endpoint? With the right protocol?
