# Merkle

The purpose of this test-generator is to provide test-vectors for validating the 
correct merkleization of objects and corresponding merkle proofs.

Test-format documentation can be found [here](../../formats/merkle/README.md).
merkle proof test generator Building merkle proofs is required functionality for implementing light client sync. Although the spec currently only defines a function to verify merkle proofs (`is_valid_merkle_branch`) there are still a few PySpec unit tests that produce merkle proofs. This patch adds a new generator to extract test vectors from those static unit tests, so that light client implementations can validate their merkle proof logic. 2021-09-24 11:10:57 +02:00			`# Merkle`
