Remote API
==========

All versions of Bitburner can use websockets to connect to a server.
That server can then perform a number of actions.
Most commonly this is used in conjunction with an external text editor or API
in order to make writing scripts easier, or even use typescript.

To make use of this Remote API through the official server, look here: https://github.com/bitburner-official/typescript-template.
If you want to make your own server, see below for API details.

This API uses the JSON RCP 2.0 protocol. Inputs are in the following form:

    .. code-block:: javascript

        {
            "jsonrpc": "2.0",
            "id": number,
            "method": string,
            "params": any
        }

Outputs:

    .. code-block:: javascript

        {
            "jsonrpc": "2.0",
            "id": number,
            "result": any,
            "error": any
        }
