field Params is sent as provided, so Params: 2 forms an invalid json (correct would be Params: []int{2}) // - you can use the helper function Params(1, 2, 3) to use the same format as in Call() // - field JSONRPC is overwritten and set to value: "2.0" // - field ID is overwritten and set incrementally and maps to the array position (e.g. requests[5].ID == 5) // // // Returns RPCResponses that is of type []*RPCResponse // - note that a list of RPCResponses can be received unordered so it can happen that: responses[i] != responses[i].ID // -
