| This is the reference implementation of BLAKE3. It is used for testing and |
| as a readable example of the algorithms involved. Section 5.1 of [the BLAKE3 |
| spec](https://github.com/BLAKE3-team/BLAKE3-specs/blob/master/blake3.pdf) |
| discusses this implementation. You can render docs for this implementation |
| by running `cargo doc --open` in this directory. |
| |
| This implementation is a single file |
| ([`reference_impl.rs`](reference_impl.rs)) with no dependencies. It is |
| not optimized for performance. |
| |
| There are ports of this reference implementation to other languages: |
| |
| - [C](https://github.com/oconnor663/blake3_reference_impl_c) |
| - [Python](https://github.com/oconnor663/pure_python_blake3) |
