mintBlue SDK Server

mintBlue is a blockchain development platform that offers out-of-the-box infrastructure for businesses. The mintBlue SDK Server is a REST API that allows you to use the functionalities of the mintBlue SDK without integrating the SDK package into your solution. This is particularly useful for decreasing implementation time, setting up proof of concepts, or easily integrating the functionality into non-JavaScript environments.

The mintBlue SDK Server implements the JSON-RPC specification, providing a uniform set of methods that clients can use regardless of the programming language they are implementing. JSON-RPC is a stateless, light-weight remote procedure call (RPC) protocol that defines several data structures and the rules around their processing.
