\n\n## Documentation\n\nSee [documentation](docs/classes/_src_merkletree_.merkletree.md) (under [docs/](docs/))\n\n## Test\n\n```bash\nnpm test\n```\n\n## FAQ\n\n- Q: How do you verify merkle proofs in Solidity?\n - A: Check out the example repo [merkletreejs-solidity](https://github.com/miguelmota/merkletreejs-solidity) on how to generate merkle proofs with this library and verify them in Solidity.\n\n- Q: How do you verify merkle [multiproofs](https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs/blob/dev/ssz/merkle-proofs.md#merkle-multiproofs) in Solidity?\n - A: Check out the example repo [merkletreejs-multiproof-solidity](https://github.com/miguelmota/merkletreejs-multiproof-solidity) on how to generate merkle multiproofs with this library and verify them in Solidity.\n\n- Q: Is there an NFT whitelist example in Solidity?\n - A: Check out the example repo [merkletreejs-nft-whitelist](https://github.com/miguelmota/merkletreejs-nft-whitelist) on how to generate merkle root of whitelisted accounts and merkle proofs with this library and verify them in Solidity.\n\n- Q: What other types of merkle trees are supported?\n\n - Besides standard [`MerkleTree`](./README-MerkleTree.md), there's these implementation classes available:\n - [`MerkleMountainRange`](./README-MerkleMountainRange.md)\n - [`MerkleSumTree`](./README-MerkleSumTree.md)\n - [`IncrementalMerkleTree`](./README-IncrementalMerkleTree.md)\n - [`MerkleRadixTree`](./README-MerkleRadixTree.md)\n - [`UnifiedBinaryTree`](./README-UnifiedBinaryTree.md) (EIP-7864)\n\n Example import of other classes:\n\n ```js\n import { MerkleMountainRange } from 'merkletreejs/MerkleMountainRange'\n ```\n\n Note: For Merkle Patricia Tree, see [`@ethereumjs/trie`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@ethereumjs/trie).\n\n- Q: How do I hash a JSON object?\n\n- See [`https://www.npmjs.com/package/json-stable-stringify`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/json-stable-stringify) for deterministic stringifying of JSON objects.\n\n- Q: Is there a CLI version of this library?\n\n - Yes, see [merkletreejs-cli](https://github.com/miguelmota/merkletreejs-cli).\n\n- Q: Is there a way to visualize the merkle trees in the browser?\n\n - Yes, see [example ui](https://lab.miguelmota.com/merkletreejs) and [merkletree-viz](https://github.com/miguelmota/merkletree-viz).\n\n## Notes\n\nAs is, this implementation is vulnerable to a [second pre-image attack](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkle_tree#Second_preimage_attack). Use a difference hashing function for leaves and nodes, so that `H(x) != H'(x)`.\n\nAlso, as is, this implementation is vulnerable to a forgery attack for an unbalanced tree, where the last leaf node can be duplicated to create an artificial balanced tree, resulting in the same Merkle root hash. Do not accept unbalanced tree to prevent this. More info [here](https://bitcointalk.org/?topic=102395).\n\nPlease use the library [`@openzeppelin/merkle-tree`](https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/merkle-tree) if you're integrating with OpenZeppelin contracts or using multiproofs. There are known issues with the current multiproof implementation as pointed out in [issues](https://github.com/merkletreejs/merkletreejs/issues/63).\n\n### Disclaimer\n\nThis library was created for my own purposes and is provided as-is.
