Decode BSV Transaction
Decode BSV transaction hex into human-readable format. Supports raw hex, Extended Format (EF), and BEEF format.
Status
Complete - All tests passing
Transaction Formats
BSV transactions come in three formats:
| Format | Parser | Starts With | Contains |
|---|---|---|---|
| Raw | Transaction.fromHex() | 01000000 | Just the transaction |
| EF (Extended Format) | Transaction.fromHexEF() | 0100beef | Tx + source tx data for fee validation |
| BEEF | Transaction.fromHexBEEF() | 0100beef | Tx + merkle proofs for SPV |
The script auto-detects format. Pass --beef flag to force BEEF parsing.
