JSON-RPC requires that the top-level JSON object be in a certain format, with
specified members, and the return object is similarly defineds. Unless you want
to redefine your JSON objects, you can't use JSON-RPC.
There's a JSON service as well, but you have to do your own parsing. You can
look at gluon.utils.Service.serve_jsonrpc to see how the JSON-RPC service does
it. I'm not sure why the JSON service doesn't decode the incoming object, but
there you are...
