tendermint/rpc/client/interface.go

/*
package client provides a general purpose interface (Client) for connecting
to a tendermint node, as well as higher-level functionality.

The main implementation for production code is client.HTTP, which
connects via http to the jsonrpc interface of the tendermint node.

For connecting to a node running in the same process (eg. when
compiling the abci app in the same process), you can use the client.Local
implementation.

For mocking out server responses during testing to see behavior for
arbitrary return values, use the mock package.

In addition to the Client interface, which should be used externally
for maximum flexibility and testability, and two implementations,
this package also provides helper functions that work on any Client
implementation.
