# Partisia Blockchain ABI client.

Utility library for parsing and processing the Partisia Blockchain ABI Format.

The format is specified here: [Partisia Blockchain's ABI format](https://partisiablockchain.gitlab.io/documentation/smart-contracts/smart-contract-binary-formats.html)..

## Example usage

This example is based upon the [Token Contract example contract](https://gitlab.com/partisiablockchain/language/example-contracts).
It assumes a compiled ABI in `token.abi` and a blockchain state stored in `token_state.bin`.

```py
# Imports
from pbcabi.binaryreader import BinaryReader
import pbcabi.model

# Read ABI
with open('token.abi', 'rb') as f:
    TOKEN_ABI = pbcabi.model.FileAbi.read_from(BinaryReader(f.read()))

with open('token_state.bin', 'rb') as f:
    state_bytes = f.read()

# Read structure TokenState from state_bytes
token_state = TOKEN_ABI.contract.read_state('TokenState', BinaryReader(state_bytes))

# Inspect state as mostly Python-native types.
my_address = BlockchainAddress.from_hex_hash("00e72e44eab933faaf1fd4ce94bb57e08bff98a1ed")

print(token_state['name'])
> MyToken
print(token_state['balances'][my_address])
> 213112
```
