<p>The Ethereum eco-system provides many methods of interacting with the

breadth of operations, however often it is useful to inter-operate with

other existing APIs and libraries.</p>

<h2>Custom Provider<a class="headerlink" href="#custom-provider" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>

<p>This is a much more advanced topic, and most people should not need to work this
|
|
low level. But it is provided for those rare instances where you need some custom
|
|
connection logic.</p>
|
|
<p>A provider must only implement the method <strong>perform(method, params)</strong>. All data passed
|
|
into a provider is sanitized by the BaseProvider subclass, and all results are normalized
|
|
before returning them to the user.</p>
|
|
<p>For this example, we will build a DebugProvider, which will simple proxy all commands
|
|
through another Provider, but dump all data going back and forth.</p>
