txscript

[] (https://travis-ci.org/btcsuite/btcd)

Package txscript implements the bitcoin transaction script language. There is a comprehensive test suite. Package txscript is licensed under the liberal ISC license.

This package has intentionally been designed so it can be used as a standalone package for any projects needing to use or validate bitcoin transaction scripts.

Bitcoin Scripts

Bitcoin provides a stack-based, FORTH-like langauge for the scripts in the bitcoin transactions. This language is not turing complete although it is still fairly powerful. A description of the language can be found at https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Script
