Getting Started

Seele's API is comprised of remote and local functions:

Remote

• Served remotely by a go-seele node, queried through http requests in json-rpc format, wrapped by language specific SDK's.

• references:

  • JSON-RPC | Node Version <= v1.2.7

  • JSON-RPC | Node Version >= v1.3.0

• examples: getBalance, addTx, ...

Local

• Executed locally, implemented by language specific SDK's.

• references:

  • seele-sdk-javascript

  • seele-sdk-java (beta)

  • seele-sdk-python (TODO)

  • seele-sdk-go (TODO)

• examples: signTx, decryptKeyfile, ...

Javascript SDK

Seele currently has two javascript SDKs: seeleteam.js and seele-sdk-javascript. SeeleWallet will switch to seele-sdk-javascript, SeeleAnchor(subchain gui) will be developed with seele-sdk-javascript, seeleteam.js will probably be deprecated but not in near future. Here's a comparison:

feature	seeleteam.js	seele-sdk-javascript
rpc: node <=v1.2.7	✓(v1.6.8+)	✓(v1.1.0+)
rpc: node >=v1.3.0	✓(v2.0.0+)	✓(v2.1.0+)
Account functions	✓	✓
