Eris-DB (Alpha)

eris-db is Eris' blockchain-client. It consists of a Tendermint node wrapped by a simple server. The server allows requests to be made over HTTP - either using JSON-RPC 2.0 or a RESTlike web-api - and websocket (JSON-RPC 2.0). The web-APIs are documented in api.md. We also have javascript bindings for the RPC methods in eris-db.js.

Installation

There are no pre-built releases other then the docker images.

The recommended way of working with eris-db is through eris-cli (develop branch as of now).
