 The JSON-RPC API is exposed in two fashions:
 
-* A executable that exposes the JSON-RPC API through a [WebSocket](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebSockets_API) server running on localhost.
-* The JSON-RPC API can also be called through the [C FFI](../deltachat-ffi). The C FFI needs to be built with the `jsonrpc` feature. It will then expose the functions `dc_jsonrpc_init`, `dc_jsonrpc_request`, `dc_jsonrpc_next_response` and `dc_jsonrpc_unref`. See the docs in the [header file](../deltachat-ffi/deltachat.h) for details.

-We also include a JavaScript and TypeScript client for the JSON-RPC API. The source for this is in the [`typescript`](typescript) folder. The client can easily be used with the WebSocket server to build DeltaChat apps for web browsers or Node.js. See the [examples](typescript/example) for details.

 ## Usage
 
-#### Running the WebSocket server
-
-From within this folder, you can start the WebSocket server with the following command:
-
-```sh
-cargo run --features webserver
-```
-
-If you want to use the server in a production setup, first build it in release mode:
-
-```sh
-cargo build --features webserver --release
-```
-You will then find the `deltachat-jsonrpc-server` executable in your `target/release` folder.
-
-The executable currently does not support any command-line arguments. By default, once started it will accept WebSocket connections on `ws://localhost:20808/ws`. It will store the persistent configuration and databases in a `./accounts` folder relative to the directory from where it is started.
-
-The server can be configured with environment variables:
-
-|variable|default|description|
-|-|-|-|
-|`DC_PORT`|`20808`|port to listen on|
-|`DC_ACCOUNTS_PATH`|`./accounts`|path to storage directory|
-
-If you are targeting other architectures (like KaiOS or Android), the webserver binary can be cross-compiled easily with [rust-cross](https://github.com/cross-rs/cross):
-
-```sh
-cross build --features=webserver --target armv7-linux-androideabi --release
-```
-
 #### Using the TypeScript/JavaScript client
 
-The package includes a JavaScript/TypeScript client which is partially auto-generated through the JSON-RPC library used by this crate ([yerpc](https://github.com/Frando/yerpc/)). Find the source in the [`typescript`](typescript) folder.

-The JavaScript client is not yet published on NPM (but will likely be soon). Currently, it is recommended to vendor the bundled build. After running `npm run build` as documented above, there will be a file `dist/deltachat.bundle.js`. This is an ESM module containing all dependencies. Copy this file to your project and import the DeltaChat class.
-

-```typescript
-import { DeltaChat } from './deltachat.bundle.js'
-const dc = new DeltaChat('ws://localhost:20808/ws')

 #### Running the example app
 
-We include a small demo web application that talks to the WebSocket server. It can be used for testing. Feel invited to expand this.

-cd typescript
-npm run build
-npm run example:build
-npm run example:start

-Then, open [`http://localhost:8080/example.html`](http://localhost:8080/example.html) in a web browser.
