Chapter 1: Overview

Input transaction format

For an input transaction to use name/value pairing, each piece of data must be in this format:

name=value

where name is the unique name that identifies the data and value is the actual data.

When using name/value pairing, this input transaction becomes:

John Smith|114 Center Ave|Pacheco|ca|94553

name=John Smith|street=114 Center Ave|city=Pacheco|state=ca|

And, as shown below, the pieces of the input transaction can be in any order.

city=Pacheco|name=John Smith|street=114 Center Ave|state=ca

street=114 Center Ave|name=John Smith|state=ca|city=Pacheco|

street=114 Center Ave|state=ca|name=John Smith|city=Pacheco
