Getting Started
Hello, World!
TinyChain has one of the simplest imaginable "Hello, World!" programs— just open this link in your browser: http://demo.tinychain.net/state/scalar/value/string?key="Hello, World!"
Some things to notice: TinyChain has four types of Op
: GET
, PUT
, POST
, and DELETE
. These correspond to HTTP methods . Every TinyChain Op
is accessible over HTTP using the corresponding request method.
TinyChain supports object-oriented programming (OOP), including class inheritance. You can see the superclasses of a TinyChain String
in its classpath: /state/scalar/string
. So, String
is a subclass of Value
, which is a subclass of Scalar
, which is a subclass of State
, which is the parent of every TinyChain class. Any TinyChain Value
can be constructed by GET
ting its class.
Run a TinyChain host
The TinyChain host at demo.tinychain.net is provided for convenience, but it may be slow due to the volume of requests it receives, and it may not always have the latest updates and bugfixes. For the best experience, you should run your own host. This is easy to do with Docker:
Check that it's working by running your own "Hello, World!" program: http://127.0.0.1:8702/state/scalar/value/string?key="Hello, World!"
