//! Core library for the Exonum blockchain framework.
//!
//! Exonum is an extensible open-source framework for
//! creating blockchain applications. Exonum can be used to create cryptographically
//! powered distributed ledgers in virtually any problem domain, including finance,
//! governance, and legal. The Exonum framework is oriented towards creating
//! permissioned blockchains, that is, blockchains with the known set of blockchain
//! infrastructure providers.
//!
//! For more information about the framework see the [readme] and the [Exonum website].
//!
//! [readme]: https://github.com/exonum/exonum#readme

//!
//! # Crate Overview
//!
//! This crate provides the fundamentals for Exonum nodes, such as tools to store and access
//! data in the blockchain, means for handling transactions and evolve the blockchain with time
//! (e.g., add new business logic or perform data migrations).
//!
//! ## Re-exports
//!
//! The crate re-exports the following crates:
//!
//! | Crate | Exported name | Description |
//! |-------|---------------|-------------|
//! | [`exonum-crypto`] | `crypto` | Cryptographic utils used by Exonum |
//! | [`exonum-merkledb`] | `merkledb` | Storage engine with Merkelized data |
//! | [`exonum-keys`] | `keys` | Key tools for Exonum nodes |
//!
//! [`exonum-crypto`]: https://docs.rs/exonum-crypto/
//! [`exonum-merkledb`]: https://docs.rs/exonum-merkledb/
//! [`exonum-keys`]: https://docs.rs/exonum-keys/
//!
//! ## Blockchain Management
//!
//! The crate provides basic tools to build Exonum nodes ([`blockchain`] and [`messages`] modules),
//! although the bulk of the node logic is placed [in a dedicated crate][`exonum-node`].
//!
//! [`blockchain`]: blockchain/index.html
//! [`messages`]: messages/index.html
//! [`exonum-node`]: https://docs.rs/exonum-node/
//!
//! ## Runtimes
//!
//! [Runtimes] are a way to attach user-provided business logic to an Exonum blockchain. This
//! logic, bundled in *services*, allows to process user transactions and interact with
//! the blockchain in other ways (e.g., via HTTP API).
//!
//! Exonum provides a [generic interface][`Runtime`] for runtimes, which allows to implement
//! services in different programming languages, for example [Rust][rust-rt] and [Java][java-rt].
//!
//! [Runtimes]: runtime/index.html
//! [`Runtime`]: runtime/trait.Runtime.html
//! [rust-rt]: https://docs.rs/exonum-rust-runtime/
//! [java-rt]: https://github.com/exonum/exonum-java-binding
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! See the [GitHub repository][examples] for examples.
