dcrd/dcrjson

dcrjson

Package dcrjson implements concrete types for marshalling to and from the bitcoin JSON-RPC API. A comprehensive suite of tests is provided to ensure proper functionality.

Although this package was primarily written for the decred, it has intentionally been designed so it can be used as a standalone package for any projects needing to marshal to and from bitcoin JSON-RPC requests and responses.

Note that although it's possible to use this package directly to implement an RPC client, it is not recommended since it is only intended as an infrastructure package. Instead, RPC clients should use the dcrrpcclient package which provides a full blown RPC client with many features such as automatic connection management, websocket support, automatic notification re-registration on reconnect, and conversion from the raw underlying RPC types (strings, floats, ints, etc) to higher-level types with many nice and useful properties.

GPG Verification Key

All official release tags are signed by Conformal so users can ensure the code has not been tampered with and is coming from the decred developers. To verify the signature perform the following:

• Download the public key from the Conformal website at https://opensource.conformal.com/GIT-GPG-KEY-conformal.txt

• Import the public key into your GPG keyring:

  gpg --import GIT-GPG-KEY-conformal.txt
  

• Verify the release tag with the following command where TAG_NAME is a placeholder for the specific tag:

  git tag -v TAG_NAME
