You've already seen one alternative way to access the Bitcoind's RPC ports: `curl`, which was covered in a [Chapter 4 Interlude](04_4__Interlude_Using_Curl.md). Interacting with `bitcoind` through a C API is no different than that, you just need some good software. This section uses a package called `libbitcoinrpc` that that allows you to access JSON-RPC `bitcoind` port. It uses a curl library for accessing the data and it uses the jansson library for encoding and decoding the JSON.
