|
Package btcjson 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 btcsuite, 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
|
|
[btcrpcclient](https://github.com/btcsuite/btcrpcclient) 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 btcsuite 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:
|
|
```bash
|
|
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:
|
|
```bash
|
|
git tag -v TAG_NAME
|
|
```
