Mike Hearn 4d83f1489f Add a client library that provides an RPC mechanism for talking to the Corda node.
The RPC mechanism uses message queues and is essentially conventional except for the fact that it supports marshalling observables. An observable encapsulates a stream of ongoing events, and server-side observables sent to the client are automatically bound to message queues and managed by Artemis.

Welcome to the Corda repository!

Warning

This build of the docs is from the master branch, not a milestone release. It may not reflect the current state of the code.

This documentation describes Corda, a proposed architecture for distributed ledgers, the vision for which is outlined in the Corda Introductory Whitepaper.

The goal of this prototype is to explore fundamentally better designs for distributed ledgers than what presently exists on the market, tailor made for the needs of the financial industry. We are attempting to prove or disprove the following hypothesis:

The combination of

  • An upgraded state transition model
  • Industry standard, production quality virtual machines and languages
  • An advanced orchestration framework
  • Limited data propagation
  • Conflict resolution without proof of work or blocks

is sufficiently powerful to justify the creation of a new platform implementation.
