Resolve through IPLD graphs with the dag API

IPLD stands for InterPlanetary Linked-Data, it is the data model of the content-addressable web. It gives IPFS the ability to resolve through any kind of content-addressed graph, as long as the adapter for the format is available.

This tutorial goes through several operations over IPLD graphs using the DAG API.

create nodes to build a graph

retrieve a node from a graph

resolve a path in a graph

resolve through graphs of different kind

explore a graph with the .tree

traverse through a slice of the ethereum blockchain

traverse through a git repo

The example objects contained in "git-objects" have already been decompressed with zlib. An example of how to do this:

$ cat .git/objects/7d/df25817f57c2090a9568cdb17106a76dad7d04 | zlib-flate -uncompress > 7ddf25817f57c2090a9568cdb17106a76dad7d04
