The xrpl-go project is an SDK written in Go for interacting with the XRP Ledger. It provides a set of tools and libraries for building applications on the XRP Ledger.

The SDK can be split into the following packages:

  • binary-codec: A package for encoding and decoding XRPL binary messages, objects and transactions.
  • address-codec: A package for encoding and decoding XRPL addresses.
  • keypairs: A package for generating and managing cryptographic keypairs.
  • xrpl: The biggest package of the SDK. It contains clients, types, transactions, and utils to interact with the XRP Ledger.
