FILE GUIDE · KEY SECTIONS

JSON views of a local transaction pool

This compact header exposes JSON conversion helpers while forward-declaring the mempool and JSON types. It does not define transaction acceptance or network relay.

Line 12 ↗

Aggregate information

The information helper accepts a particular pool instance and returns its summary. Those statistics concern that node at observation time, not an authoritative count of every pending transaction across Bitcoin.

Line 15 ↗

Choose transaction-list detail

The default is a nonverbose view without a sequence number. The implementation decides the output shape and rejects unsupported option combinations. A sequence tracks local pool changes; it is not a block height or a transaction confirmation count.
