/**
 * This plugin requires jquery.json.js to be available, or at least the methods $.toJSON and
 * $.parseJSON.
 *
 * The plan is to make use of websockets if they are available, but work just as well with only
 * http if not.
 *
 * Usage example:
 *
 *   var foo = new $.JsonRpcClient({ ajaxUrl: '/backend/jsonrpc' });
 *   foo.call(
 *     'bar', [ 'A parameter', 'B parameter' ],
 *     function(result) { alert('Foo bar answered: ' + result.my_answer); },
 *     function(error)  { console.log('There was an error', error); }
 *   );
 *
 * More examples are available in README.md
