A bit of perspective...

Geth is one of the three origin clients

Using Geth as a library was unfeasible

Fast forward to the present...

Geth 1.5 – A new dawn

Concentrated effort to make Geth a library

Account management

package main

import "fmt"

import "github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/accounts"

func main() {
    am := accounts.NewManager("keystore", accounts.StandardScryptN, accounts.StandardScryptP)

    newAcc, _ := am.NewAccount("Creation password")
    fmt.Println("New:", newAcc.Address.Hex())

    jsonAcc, _ := am.Export(newAcc, "Creation password", "Export password")
    fmt.Println("Json:", string(jsonAcc))

    _ = am.DeleteAccount(newAcc, "Creation password")
    fmt.Println("Accs:", am.Accounts())

    impAcc, _ := am.Import(jsonAcc, "Export password", "Import password")
    fmt.Println("Imp:", impAcc.Address.Hex())
}

Fully client side account management without any backing Ethereum node

Remote APIs

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/common"
	"github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/core/types"
	"github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/ethclient"
	"golang.org/x/net/context"
)

var tipjar = common.HexToAddress("0xfb6916095ca1df60bb79ce92ce3ea74c37c5d359")

func main() {
    ec, _ := ethclient.Dial("/home/karalabe/.ethereum/geth.ipc")

    head, _ := ec.BlockByNumber(ctx, nil)
    fmt.Println("Chain height:", head.Number())

    balance, _ := ec.BalanceAt(ctx, tipjar, nil)
    fmt.Println("TipJar funds:", balance)

    heads := make(chan *types.Header, 16)
    _, _ = ec.SubscribeNewHead(ctx, heads)
    for header := range heads {
        fmt.Printf("#%d: %s…\n", header.Number, header.Hash().Hex()[:10])
    }
}

var ctx = context.Background()

Chain exploration, state querying and event subscription over IPC, HTTP or WebSocket

Native contracts

Contract interaction is non-trivial

Native binding generator (abigen)

Native contracts – In action

contract ReleaseOracle {
    function currentVersion() constant returns (uint32 major, uint32 minor, uint32 patch) {
        // [...] Look up the currently active release
        return (release.major, release.minor, release.patch);
    }
    // [...]
}
// This file is an automatically generated Go binding. Do not modify as any
// change will likely be lost upon the next re-generation!

Live node in three method calls, including discovery, P2P networking and remote APIs.

So... what about Android and iOS? 😇

Geth 1.3.x "already ran" on mobile platforms... ლ(ಠ_ಠლ)

Console binaries since 10th September, 2015

Embeddable libraries since 9th December, 2015

Geth.run("--ipcdisable --fast --rpc --rpccorsdomain *") // Was tad limited for a mobile API...

Mobile account management

Same exact APIs available as from Go

AccountManager am = Geth.newAccountManager(this.getFilesDir(), Geth.LightScryptN, Geth.LightScryptP);

Account newAcc = am.newAccount("Creation password");
textbox.append("New: " + newAcc.getAddress().getHex() + "\n\n");

byte[] jsonAcc = am.exportKey(newAcc, "Creation password", "Export password");
textbox.append("Json: " + new String(jsonAcc) + "\n\n");

am.deleteAccount(newAcc, "Creation password");
textbox.append("Accs: " + am.getAccounts().size() + "\n\n");

Account impAcc = am.importKey(jsonAcc, "Export password", "Import password");
textbox.append("Imp: " + impAcc.getAddress().getHex() + "\n\n");

Mobile remote APIs

Same exact APIs available as from Go

EthereumClient ec = Geth.newEthereumClient("ws://10.0.2.2:8546");

Block head = ec.getBlockByNumber(ctx, -1);
textbox.append("Chain height: " + head.getNumber() + "\n\n");

BigInt balance = ec.getBalanceAt(ctx, tipjar, -1);
textbox.append("TipJar funds: " + balance + "\n\n");

NewHeadHandler handler = new NewHeadHandler() {
    @Override public void onNewHead(final Header header) {
        MainActivity.this.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() { public void run() { textbox.append("#" + header.getNumber() + ": " + header.getHash().getHex().substring(0, 10) + "…\n"); } });
    }};
ec.subscribeNewHead(ctx, handler,  16);

Mobile native contracts

Same exact APIs available as from Go

Address oracleAddress = Geth.newAddressFromHex("0xfa7b9770ca4cb04296cac84f37736d4041251cdf");

EthereumClient ec = Geth.newEthereumClient("ws://10.0.2.2:8546");
ReleaseOracle ro = new ReleaseOracle(oracleAddress, ec);

ReleaseOracle.CurrentVersionResults ver = ro.currentVersion(null);
textbox.append("Latest Geth: v" + ver.Major + "." + ver.Minor + "." + ver.Patch);
Such short,
   Much wow!

Mobile in-process nodes

Subset of the APIs compared to Go

NodeConfig conf = Geth.newNodeConfig();
Node node = Geth.newNode(getFilesDir() + "/.ethereum", conf);
node.start();

NodeInfo info = node.getNodeInfo();
textbox.append("My name: " + info.getName() + "\n");
textbox.append("My address: " + info.getListenerAddress() + "\n");
textbox.append("My protocols: " + info.getProtocols() + "\n\n");

EthereumClient ec = node.getEthereumClient();
textbox.append("Latest block: " + ec.getBlockByNumber(ctx, -1).getNumber());

Hey, hey, hey... what about iOS?!

Yup, that's covered too!!! 😎

Polishing and contract generator pending...

Epilogue
