JSON-RPC
A JSON-based request and response format commonly used by applications to communicate with blockchain nodes.
In more detail
An RPC endpoint is how many wallets and apps ask a node for balances, contract data or transaction submission. JSON-RPC provides the message format for those requests. A response is information from that provider, so reliability and freshness matter. Reading data or simulating a call is different from signing an action that can move assets.
How you might use it
Your wallet asks an Ethereum RPC endpoint for your account balance, then sends a signed transaction through it when you approve a transfer.
