Module Diff.Node

A node can be represented in two different formats. * A full node representation is a breadcrumb, which * contains both an external transition and a computed * staged ledger (masked off of the node parent's * staged ledger). A lite node representation is merely * the external transition itself. The staged ledger * can be recomputed if needed, though not cheaply. * The purpose of the separation of these two formats * is required due to the fact that a breadcrumb cannot * be serialized with bin_io. Only the external transition * can be serialized and persisted to disk. This node * representation type is used to parameterize the diff * type over which representation is being used so that * the diff format can be shared between both the in memory * transition frontier and the persistent transition frontier.
