> If we publish our Services/APIs as Thrift today you can't make requests using simple Human Readable JSON. This means publishing our APIs to third party users means they have to
> 1. Know how to use Thrift
> 2. Have all the Thrift definition files or the generated code
> Or we have to build Libraries for each of the platforms we want to support.
> This is not always possible.
> I propose we do something like this:
> {code}
> exception SystemException {
>   1: i32 errorCode,
>   2: string message,
> }
> struct User {
>   1: string id,
>   2: string email,
>   3: string name,
>   4: i64 validatedAt
> }
> struct LoginResult {
>   1: string authToken,
>   2: User currentUser
> }
> service AuthenticationService {
>   LoginResult login(1: string email, 2: string password) throws(1: SystemException err)
> }
> {code}
> Request Format:
> {code}
> {
>   "method": "METHOD_NAME",
>   "arguments": { ... }
> }
> {
>   "method": "login",
>   "arguments": {
>     "email": "devansh@wi.co",
>     "password": "password"
>   }
> }
> {code}
> RESULT:
> {code}
> {
>   "method": "login",
>   "result": {
>     "success": {
>       "authToken": "some_auth_token",
>       "currentUser": {
>         "id": "6a6c982b-62f9-46d2-aff9-bd3a1cdf43f9",
>         "email": "user1@wi.co",
>         "name": "user1",
>         "validatedAt": 0
>       }
>     }
>   }
> }
> {code}
> This uses the JSON generated by the JSON Generator as "metadata" to figure out the Field Keys and Types.
