Light client logic and implementation. //! //! A "light" client stores very little chain-related data locally //! unlike a full node, which stores all blocks, headers, receipts, and more. //! //! This enables the client to have a much lower resource footprint in //! exchange for the cost of having to ask the network for state data //! while responding to queries. This makes a light client unsuitable for //! low-latency applications, but perfectly suitable for simple everyday //! use-cases like sending transactions from a personal account. //! //! It starts by performing a header-only sync, verifying random samples //! of members of the chain to varying degrees. // TODO: remove when integrating with the rest of parity. #![allow(dead_code)] pub mod client; pub mod net; pub mod provider; pub use types::les_request as request;
