 ## Server
 
 A JSON-RPC 2.0 server exposes a set of methods that can be called by clients.
 These methods can be registered using `Server.registerMethod`:
 
 ```dart
 import "package:json_rpc_2/json_rpc_2.dart" as json_rpc;
+import "package:stream_channel/stream_channel.dart";
 
-void main() {
-  WebSocket.connect('ws://localhost:4321').then((socket) {
-    // You can start the server with a Stream for requests and a StreamSink for
-    // responses, or with an object that's both, like a WebSocket.
-    var server = new json_rpc.Server(socket);
+main() async {
+  var socket = WebSocket.connect('ws://localhost:4321');

await

+  var server = new json_rpc.Server(new StreamChannel(socket, socket));
 
-    // Any string may be used as a method name. JSON-RPC 2.0 methods are
-    // case-sensitive.
-    var i = 0;
-    server.registerMethod("count", () {
-      // Just return the value to be sent as a response to the client. This can
-      // be anything JSON-serializable, or a Future that completes to something
-      // JSON-serializable.
-      return i++;
-    });
+  // Any string may be used as a method name. JSON-RPC 2.0 methods are
+  // case-sensitive.
+  var i = 0;
+  server.registerMethod("count", () {
+    // Just return the value to be sent as a response to the client. This can
+    // be anything JSON-serializable, or a Future that completes to something
+    // JSON-serializable.
+    return i++;
+  });
 
-    // Methods can take parameters. They're presented as a [Parameters] object
-    // which makes it easy to validate that the expected parameters exist.
-    server.registerMethod("echo", (params) {
-      // If the request doesn't have a "message" parameter, this will
-      // automatically send a response notifying the client that the request
-      // was invalid.
-      return params.getNamed("message");
-    });

+  });
 
-    // [Parameters] has methods for verifying argument types.
-    server.registerMethod("subtract", (params) {
-      // If "minuend" or "subtrahend" aren't numbers, this will reject the
-      // request.
-      return params.getNum("minuend") - params.getNum("subtrahend");
-    });
+  // [Parameters] has methods for verifying argument types.
+  server.registerMethod("subtract", (params) {
+    // If "minuend" or "subtrahend" aren't numbers, this will reject the

+    return params.getNum("minuend") - params.getNum("subtrahend");
+  });
 
-    // [Parameters] also supports optional arguments.
-    server.registerMethod("sort", (params) {

-      list.sort();
-      if (params.getBool("descending", orElse: () => false)) {

-      } else {

-      }

-    server.registerMethod("divide", (params) {
-      var divisor = params.getNum("divisor");

 }
 ```
 
 ## Client
 
 A JSON-RPC 2.0 client calls methods on a server and handles the server's
 responses to those method calls. These methods can be called using
 `Client.sendRequest`:
 
 ```dart
 import "package:json_rpc_2/json_rpc_2.dart" as json_rpc;
+import "package:stream_channel/stream_channel.dart";
 
-void main() {
-  WebSocket.connect('ws://localhost:4321').then((socket) {
-    // Just like the server, a client takes a Stream and a StreamSink or a
-    // single object that's both.
-    var client = new json_rpc.Client(socket);
+main() async {
+  var socket = await WebSocket.connect('ws://localhost:4321').then((socket) {

Get rid of .then()

+  var client = new json_rpc.Client(new StreamChannel(socket, socket));
 
-    // This calls the "count" method on the server. A Future is returned that
-    // will complete to the value contained in the server's response.
-    client.sendRequest("count").then((result) => print("Count is $result."));
+  // This calls the "count" method on the server. A Future is returned that
+  // will complete to the value contained in the server's response.
+  client.sendRequest("count").then((result) => print("Count is $result."));
 
-    // Parameters are passed as a simple Map or, for positional parameters, an
-    // Iterable. Make sure they're JSON-serializable!
-    client.sendRequest("echo", {"message": "hello"})
-        .then((echo) => print('Echo says "$echo"!'));
+  // Parameters are passed as a simple Map or, for positional parameters, an
+  // Iterable. Make sure they're JSON-serializable!
+  client.sendRequest("echo", {"message": "hello"})
+      .then((echo) => print('Echo says "$echo"!'));
 
-    // A notification is a way to call a method that tells the server that no
-    // result is expected. Its return type is `void`; even if it causes an
-    // error, you won't hear back.
-    client.sendNotification("count");
+  // A notification is a way to call a method that tells the server that no
+  // result is expected. Its return type is `void`; even if it causes an
+  // error, you won't hear back.
+  client.sendNotification("count");
 
-    // If the server sends an error response, the returned Future will complete
-    // with an RpcException. You can catch this error and inspect its error
-    // code, message, and any data that the server sent along with it.
-    client.sendRequest("divide", {"dividend": 2, "divisor": 0})
-        .catchError((error) {
-      print("RPC error ${error.code}: ${error.message}");
-    });
+  // If the server sends an error response, the returned Future will complete
+  // with an RpcException. You can catch this error and inspect its error
+  // code, message, and any data that the server sent along with it.
+  client.sendRequest("divide", {"dividend": 2, "divisor": 0})
+      .catchError((error) {
+    print("RPC error ${error.code}: ${error.message}");
+  });
 
-    // The client won't subscribe to the input stream until you call `listen`.
-    client.listen();
-  });
+  // The client won't subscribe to the input stream until you call `listen`.
+  client.listen();
 }
 ```
 
 ## Peer
 
 Although JSON-RPC 2.0 only explicitly describes clients and servers, it also
 mentions that two-way communication can be supported by making each endpoint
 both a client and a server. This package supports this directly using the `Peer`
 class, which implements both `Client` and `Server`. It supports the same methods
 as those classes, and automatically makes sure that every message from the other
 endpoint is routed and handled correctly.
