BigchainDB Documentation
========================
Meet BigchainDB. The blockchain database.
It has some database characteristics and some blockchain `properties <properties.html>`_,
including decentralization, immutability and native support for assets.
At a high level, one can communicate with a BigchainDB network (set of nodes) using the BigchainDB HTTP API, or a wrapper for that API, such as the BigchainDB Python Driver. Each BigchainDB node runs BigchainDB Server and various other software. The `terminology page <terminology.html>`_ explains some of those terms in more detail.
