bitcoind JSON-RPC support

There are two primary purposes of this repository.

1. Provide the bitcoind-json-rpc-types crate for use in production software.
2. Provide tools to the community for integration testing code written in Rust that interacts with the Bitcoin network. Primarily consumers of the rust-bitcoin library. And enable doing so against multiple versions of Bitcoin Core.

If you require a JSON RPC client in production software it is expected you write your own and only use the bitcoind-json-rpc-types crate in your dependency graph. Feel free to copy/steal/plagiarise or otherwise enjoy yourself with anything in this repository - no attribution required.

Please do not use client in production and raise bugs, issues, or feature requests.

Crate listing

• json: Rust types returned by the JSON-RPC API of Bitcoin Core (bitcoind-json-rpc-types).
• regtest: Runs bitcoind regtest nodes.
• client: A blocking JSON-RPC client used to test bitcoind-json-rpc-types.
• integration_test: Integration tests that use client and regtest to test json.

Original code

I don't know who is using bitcoind and/or rust-bitocincore-rpc in the wild and I do not want to disrupt them. As such bitcoind was pulled in here with permission of the original author.

Some code shamelessly stolen from rust-bitcoincore-rpc (credit to Steven).

• rust-bitcoincore-rpcv0.19.0

Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV)

This library should always compile with any combination of features on Rust 1.63.0.

Use Cargo-minimal.lock to build the MSRV by copying to Cargo.lock and building.
