decoderawtransaction - Bitcoin RPC

decoderawtransaction "hexstring" ( iswitness )

Return a JSON object representing the serialized, hex-encoded transaction.

Arguments:
1. "hexstring"      (string, required) The transaction hex string
2. iswitness          (boolean, optional) Whether the transaction hex is a serialized witness transaction

     }

This is a website, created out of frustration with uncomplete and outdated Bitcoin Core RPC documentation online.

It was inspired by ChainQuery, which seems to be abandoned. These docs are even simplier, so they can be regenerated by anyone.

Made by @karel_3d; license of the docs is MIT (see bitcoin repo), license of the scripts and webpage is also MIT ((C) 2018 Karel Bilek) (github repo)

Bitcoin version: 0.16.0.

Note that the RPC is from a regtest node (for completeness), so it includes some additional calls that a regular node doesn't have.
