Crate merkle_core 

merkle-core

Shared traits, types, and error handling for the MerkleForge workspace.

This crate is the foundation that every other crate in the workspace depends on. It contains no concrete tree logic — that lives in merkle-variants. Keeping the core abstract allows merkle-bench and future crates to import only this lightweight foundation.

Contents

Module	Description
error	Unified error::MerkleError enum
traits	traits::HashFunction, traits::MerkleTree, traits::ProofVerifier, traits::Serializable
types	types::LeafIndex, types::NodeIndex, types::MerkleProof, types::TreeMetadata, etc.

Quick start

use merkle_core::prelude::*;

// Any type implementing HashFunction can drive a tree:
// use merkle_hash::Sha256;
// let mut tree = BinaryMerkleTree::<Sha256>::new();
