Our policy is to only ensure the code compiles for the latest Go release minus one version. Since Go 1.4 has now been released, this commit updates TravisCI to remove Go 1.2 from the build matrix and add Go 1.3. Also, go vet changed locations in between Go 1.3 and Go 1.4, so a check has been added to download the appropriate version based on which version of Go is running the integration tests. Finally, the previous removed Go tip entry in the build matrix has been reintroduced since it will now work again. |

btcjson
[
]
(https://travis-ci.org/conformal/btcjson)
Package btcjson implements the bitcoin JSON-RPC API. There is a test
suite which is aiming to reach 100% code coverage. See
test_coverage.txt for the current coverage (using gocov). On a
UNIX-like OS, the script cov_report.sh can be used to generate the
report. Package btcjson is licensed under the liberal ISC license.
This package is one of the core packages from btcd, an alternative full-node implementation of bitcoin which is under active development by Conformal. Although it was primarily written for btcd, this package has intentionally been designed so it can be used as a standalone package for any projects needing to communicate with a bitcoin client using the json rpc interface. BlockSafari is one such program that uses btcjson to communicate with btcd (or bitcoind to help test btcd).
JSON RPC
Bitcoin provides an extensive API call list to control bitcoind or bitcoin-qt through json-rpc. These can be used to get information from the client or to cause the client to perform some action.
The general form of the commands are:
{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"test", "method": "getinfo", "params": []}
btcjson provides code to easily create these commands from go (as some of the commands can be fairly complex), to send the commands to a running bitcoin rpc server, and to handle the replies (putting them in useful Go data structures).
Sample Use
msg, err := btcjson.CreateMessage("getinfo")
reply, err := btcjson.RpcCommand(user, password, server, msg)
Documentation
Full go doc style documentation for the project can be viewed online without
installing this package by using the GoDoc site
here.
You can also view the documentation locally once the package is installed with
the godoc tool by running godoc -http=":6060" and pointing your browser to
http://localhost:6060/pkg/github.com/conformal/btcjson
Installation
$ go get github.com/conformal/btcjson
TODO
- Increase test coverage to 100%.
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 Conformal. 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_NAMEis a placeholder for the specific tag:git tag -v TAG_NAME
