• Documentation
• Crates.io

Usage

extern crate hypercore;

use hypercore::Feed;
use std::path::PathBuf;

let path = PathBuf::from("./my-first-dataset");
let mut feed = Feed::new(path).unwrap();

feed.append(b"hello").unwrap();
feed.append(b"world").unwrap();

println!("{:?}", feed.get(0)); // prints "hello"
println!("{:?}", feed.get(1)); // prints "world"

Data Structures

• feed: The main data structure in Hypercore. Append-only log that uses multiple data structures and algorithms to safely store data.
• data: Data that's written to the feed by users.
• keypair: An Ed25519 key pair used to encrypt data with.
• signature: A cryptorgraphic certificate of authenticity for a given piece of code.
• tree: A binary tree mapped as a flat-tree to keep an index of the current data.
• bitfield: ???
