merklecpp

A header-only C++ library for creation and manipulation of Merkle trees. It supports the usual operations, like hash insertion, root computation, and path extraction, as well as some more unusual features like flushing, retracting, and tree segment serialisation.

Usage

#include <merklecpp.h>

merkle::Tree::Hash hash("fa8f44eabb728d4020e7f33d1aa973faaef19de6c06679bccdc5100a3c01f54a");

merkle::Tree tree;
tree.insert(hash);
...
auto root = tree.root();
auto path = tree.path(0);
assert(path->verify(root));
